About Kim
Kim Simpson is a counsellor who aims to help people regain a sense of control and self-worth. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can name what is difficult and start making small changes. Many who contact her are managing stress, low mood or uncertainty and want practical steps to feel steadier.
Kim works in a person-centred way, meaning conversations focus on each person’s priorities and pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help challenge unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused ideas to build clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
The Gottman Method is used for relationship work when communication and connection are central concerns. Her background includes five years of counselling experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. She has worked with issues such as addiction, anger, eating concerns and the aftermath of abuse.
Kim is a BACP member, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. In sessions she aims to be honest, empathic and non-judgemental. She will suggest when a different service might suit better and help arrange a referral if needed.
Practical techniques and short-term planning are balanced with listening and reflection. People usually begin by setting one or two simple goals and trying small changes between meetings. Kim supports adults who want clearer communication, relief from overwhelming feelings, or a steadier routine when life shifts.

Approaches Kim lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also makes use of cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is practical and often helps with depression, anxiety and coping when life feels overwhelming. When relationship communication is the issue she can draw on the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and build small changes that improve connection.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what helps most. Decisions about focus and methods are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how you connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
