About Kimberly

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what is troubling them. Kimberly brings 19 years of UK practice and a Registered membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety and depression, and helps people navigate relationship problems and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with grief and loss, and can assist with motivation, self-esteem and confidence as a coach therapist. Kimberly has experience with neurodivergence and has a Diploma in Autism that informs her approach to communication and sensory needs.

Sessions are tailored to the individual. Kimberly uses a blend of approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies and somatic ideas to match what a person needs. She checks in at stages during therapy to review progress and make adjustments where necessary.

Kimberly has worked in hospice settings supporting bereavement for the past two years and has supported people through many forms of trauma, abuse and life changes. She also works with a national UK charity on anxiety-related work. Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity and collaboration as people set goals and plan next steps.

To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and arranges sessions based on the therapist's scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kimberly's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them to feel understood and to find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to think things through and build confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and tests practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems by teaching skills and short exercises to practise between sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase calm. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional regulation by offering tools to manage intense feelings in the moment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and needs, and together they will try methods that fit. Reviews during the course of therapy allow changes to the plan if something is not helping.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives because it can remove travel time and make scheduling easier around work or family commitments. Some formats also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, to use audio only when needed, or to avoid being on camera when that's preferable.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
