KE Portrait of Kim Elliott

About Kim

Kim Elliott is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She creates a calm, steady presence and sits alongside clients as they work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship pain. Kim welcomes honest, simple conversation and aims to make the first step feel manageable.

She uses a somatic-informed approach alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That means attention to how the body and relationships shape feelings, and time to follow each person’s pace.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and grounded, with space for feelings and for small, realistic changes. Kim has three years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That membership reflects recognised professional standards in the UK.

Her background includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and addictions. She also helps with a range of related concerns such as attachment struggles, abandonment fears, communication problems and the strain of caregiving. Kim is used to working with chronic pain or long-term illness and the emotional fallout those bring.

Sessions are offered in English and Kim is available to work with international clients. She invites people to begin by sharing what brought them here and to set simple goals together.

How Kim’s approaches work online

Kim uses somatic-informed work to notice how stress and emotion show up in the body and to help clients find calmer, steadier responses. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how they shape current feelings and needs. Client-centred principles guide the work by keeping sessions focused on the person’s priorities and pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kim collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and comfort level. She adapts tools and exercises so they work well in an online setting and checks in about what feels helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caring duties or health limits. They also let people continue therapy when travel or distance would otherwise make it difficult, while keeping the focus on steady, consistent progress.
