About Kim
Kim Forbes is a counsellor and psychotherapist who draws on five years of practice to help people facing stressful life changes. She holds BACP registration, which she uses as a professional reference for her work in the United Kingdom. Kim aims to help people live with less fear and anxiety and find a clearer sense of themselves.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping clients name what matters to them. She uses a person-centred stance combined with other approaches to tailor the conversation to each person's needs.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and career worries. Additional areas she commonly addresses are attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and challenges related to illness and caregiving.
In practical terms Kim blends talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with emotion-focused and attachment-informed work. That can mean learning new ways to handle upsetting thoughts, practising different patterns of relating, and building clearer values-based goals.
Her manner is straightforward and compassionate. People who want a supportive, respectful counsellor to talk through worries and try new ways of coping may find her approach helpful. To begin, readers can follow the site's process to match with her and arrange a first session.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance stops people doing what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; it can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and communication concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and giving people space to find their own solutions, which supports self-esteem and clearer decision-making.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kim will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people the choice to join from a location that best supports a calm conversation and can suit those balancing work, caregiving or health-related constraints.
