Kim Simpson , BACP

Kim Simpson welcomes people who have already taken the difficult first step toward greater self-understanding and self-compassion. She practices a person-centered approach, believing that individuals carry the capacity for positive change within themselves while sometimes benefiting from additional tools and techniques drawn from other therapeutic models. In sessions she offers empathy, honesty, and a non-judgemental presence to help clients reconnect with their strengths and recognise the progress they have already made.

Kim has worked with a range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, hoarding, historical child sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress, grief, domestic and sexual violence, and relationship difficulties. She aims to support clients in adjusting patterns of thinking, developing healthier coping strategies, and moving toward goals such as improved relationships, greater self-acceptance, and renewed purpose.

She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and follows its ethical framework for good practice. If she believes another service would better meet a person's needs, she will openly discuss that and seek an appropriate referral so the client receives the most helpful plan of care. Kim provides a supportive environment intended to help people reclaim a clearer sense of who they are and what they can achieve.
