About Kim
Kim Zepler is a humanistic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works in a conversational way and focuses on the client's experiences and needs. Her practice is gentle and grounded, aimed at helping people make sense of hard moments such as grief, stress, anxiety and depression.
Kim supports people through many kinds of loss, not only bereavement. She helps when relationships change, when jobs end, when health or roles shift, or when someone feels their sense of self has gone.
Background and approach
Sessions are client led and start from what matters most to the individual. Her practice is trauma informed and she is comfortable working with sudden or traumatic events. That includes death by suicide, serious accidents, illness and histories of physical or emotional abuse.
She keeps the focus on the person's experience rather than giving advice or sharing personal views. Kim's counselling draws on humanistic ways of working, mixing person-centred ideas with elements of Gestalt and transactional analysis. She may bring creative exercises and some mindfulness when these seem helpful and relevant to the person's goals.
She describes the therapy room as warm and non-judgemental. Work can be short term or longer, and may involve gentle challenge and self-enquiry aimed at helping people recover energy, acceptance or change. Kim writes with a down-to-earth warmth and a sense of humour.

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
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how difficult events affect the body and mind. This approach helps people process sudden or repeated traumatic experiences and work through the practical effects of those events on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and adapt methods to suit the person's aims, needs and pace. This collaborative planning helps people find a way of working that feels right for them.
Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats increase flexibility and can help people access consistent support without travel.
