About Kim
Kim Forbes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience and a BACP registration. She presents as an integrative, person-centred practitioner who blends talking therapy and coaching ideas to help people move forward. Kim aims to help clients become more authentic and reduce fear and anxiety so everyday life feels more manageable.
She works in a warm, non-judgemental way that emphasises respect and compassion. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, using listening, gentle challenge and practical steps. Kim draws on a range of approaches to suit each person rather than following a single fixed method.
Her practice often addresses money-related stress and financial worries alongside emotional concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with intimacy questions, self-esteem, addiction issues and parenting pressures. Additional areas she can help with include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, and coping after separation.
Kim uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based and client-centred work. These are adapted to the client’s goals and pace rather than applied rigidly. She also brings life coaching and couples-counselling experience into sessions when relevant.
If someone is unsure where to begin, Kim encourages a first step of short reflection and a practical plan. The focus is on small, achievable change so daily life becomes less overwhelming and more in line with personal values.
How therapy approaches guide online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that reflect their values. It can support those trying to manage anxiety, depression or life changes by encouraging small, value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to challenge patterns that maintain distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy or abandonment worries.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kim works collaboratively to agree which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time, checking in and changing direction when something isn't working for the individual.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going while living abroad or juggling work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements and help match the therapy style to the way you prefer to meet.
