Kimberly Bennett, BACP

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on the person in front of her. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space so people can talk through worries at their own pace. Her approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.

She works collaboratively and adapts sessions to individual needs. Reviews are built in so progress can be checked and plans adjusted. This can help when life events change priorities or bring new challenges.

Kimberly has 19 years of professional counselling experience and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has worked with hospice settings to support grief and loss, and with a national UK charity on anxiety-related work.

Her practice draws on several methods including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused ideas and somatic approaches. She uses these tools to help with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship difficulties and many life transitions.

Kimberly also supports people who are neurodivergent and holds a Diploma in Autism that informs her person-centred support for communication, sensory processing and social interaction. She combines coaching and therapeutic skills when clients want help with motivation, confidence or practical change.

People who choose to work with her can expect kind, respectful sessions that aim to find workable strategies and clearer direction. The focus is steady progress and adapting the work to what helps most in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to organise their thoughts about stress, grief or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses simple exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, change unhelpful patterns and tackle low mood.

Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. This can be useful for managing worry, emotional overwhelm and improving self-awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose techniques together with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It can also suit people who prefer spoken sessions without needing to be in an unfamiliar room. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt their methods online so that the same practical benefits and therapeutic focus carry through to each appointment.
