About Kim
Kim Speake is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She supports individuals facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Kim presents a calm, non-judgemental style to help people start making changes for a more satisfying life.
She uses straightforward conversation to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding small, practical steps forward. Kim draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as depression, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger. With three years of professional experience, Kim combines listening with gentle guidance.
She pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, such as attachment or avoidance, and helps them try different ways of relating to themselves and others. Practical strategies and paced reflection are mixed so progress feels manageable. Kim also works with concerns like caregiver stress, body image, intimacy questions and coping with life changes including divorce or separation.
She aims to help people move from feeling stuck or empty toward clearer choices and more stable routines. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. Therapy sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and Kim meets people online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree on priorities, try methods that fit their personality and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays relevant to their goals and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible, accessible options. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for in-depth work, phone sessions can fit around a busy day or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging allow for shorter check-ins and written reflection. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care across different time zones and life demands, while allowing the therapist to tailor the session style to what helps the client engage best.
