Kim Gregory , BACP

Kim Gregory is a trained and qualified therapist who works with adults, children, teenagers and young people. She draws on an integrative model while predominantly using person-centred, cognitive behavioural (CBT), solutions-focused, psychodynamic and creative therapies so that her work can be tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. She is also accredited with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Kim aims to create a warm, caring and approachable environment where people feel able to talk openly. She describes her style as genuine and compassionate, and she works collaboratively with clients to explore difficulties and identify practical steps forward. Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and Kim adapts her approach to suit different personalities and life situations.

While she does not avoid challenge, Kim combines careful inquiry with gentle support to help clients understand their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Therapy is focused on the client’s aims and Kim encourages ongoing feedback so the work remains relevant and useful. She invites questions at any time and welcomes messages between sessions, aiming to respond as soon as possible and usually within 24 hours unless she is away on vacation.

In the first session Kim will discuss what the client wants from therapy and how they might work together, ensuring that the process is responsive to the client’s needs throughout their counselling journey.

Integrative therapeutic approaches delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-directive space where the client’s experience leads the work. It helps people who want to explore feelings, build self-understanding and find their own solutions to life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, low mood, stress and difficulties with sleep or concentration.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and sensations without judgement, supporting improved emotional regulation and present-moment awareness which can be helpful for stress, anxiety and managing strong emotions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative discussion between the client and Kim. She works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences and remains flexible as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations and to maintain continuity of care when life demands change.
