Kimberly BennettBACP

Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who centres her work on the person in front of her. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most, whether that is stress, anxiety, grief or challenges around pregnancy and childbirth. Her style is calm and patient, aimed at helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to take practical steps forward.

Kimberly uses a blend of approaches chosen to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful patterns, and somatic techniques to link thoughts with body sensations. Sessions include regular reviews so the work can be adapted as circumstances change.

She brings 19 years of professional counselling experience and is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background includes supporting people with anxiety via a UK charity and working in hospice settings to help people cope with grief and loss.

Kimberly has training in autism support and a diploma in Autism, which informs how she helps people with neurodivergence. She also offers coaching-style work for motivation, confidence and practical life goals. Her approach aims to be respectful, practical and focused on each person’s priorities.

People can expect to shape their goals together with Kimberly and to review progress at set points. She emphasises collaboration so therapy stays relevant to everyday life and adapts when new challenges arise.

How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It involves open listening, reflection and gradual goal-setting to help people feel steadier and more able to make choices about relationships, parenting or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical tools to notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that fit their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and reviews happen at stages to see what is helping and what might need to change.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats work better for quieter conversations, while others suit deeper, longer work; Kimberly will help decide what fits best for practical day-to-day life.
