About Kim
BACP. 3 years experience. Kim Elliott works with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression and addictions. She uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, emotionally-focused and mindfulness approaches to help people talk through what feels overwhelming and to find practical next steps.
Kim offers a space for people to say what is hard to say. She listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so clients can make clearer choices. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills and improving communication with important people in life.
Her work with trauma and loss pays attention to how early attachments shape current relationships. Attachment-based methods help people understand repeated patterns and test new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports noticing and naming feelings and how those feelings affect connections with others.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used for stress, anxiety and low mood by looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques help with grounding and noticing bodily signals during difficult moments.
People with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality traits, blended family issues and body image find concrete tools in sessions. Kim also works with caregiver stress, chronic pain, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the impacts of domestic violence.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Kim asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss what they want to work on.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Kim uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections; this helps when problems repeat with partners or close people. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help name emotions and to understand how feelings influence interactions with others.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and try different approaches where needed so you can see what helps most. That conversation is part of the first sessions and guides how the work continues.
Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work and daily life and reducing travel time. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. If you need shorter check-ins, less use of video or quieter arrangements, these practical adjustments can be explored when arranging sessions so therapy fits everyday routines.
