About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett is a counsellor who draws on somatic and client-centred approaches to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to start. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space so clients can talk through painful feelings and begin to make changes at their own pace.
Kimberly brings 19 years of experience to her work across the UK and is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
Background and approach
Kimberly focuses on practical, person-led work. She listens closely to what matters to each person and adapts her approach as they go. That may include gentle body‑based techniques alongside talking, mindfulness exercises, or short solution-focused steps to try between sessions.
She has particular experience with anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties, and offers support for grief and loss from time working in a hospice. Kimberly also supports people managing neurodivergence, whether or not there is a formal diagnosis, and has a diploma in autism that informs her person-centred practice.
Sessions include regular reviews so the work stays relevant and can change when life changes. Kimberly describes her role as collaborative - setting goals together and checking progress along the way. She also uses coaching skills to help with motivation, confidence and practical life decisions.
Kimberly offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for remote work. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
Approaches that work well online and in the body
Kimberly uses somatic therapy to help people notice and work with bodily sensations linked to stress and trauma. This can help when emotions feel stuck, or when physical tension and sleep or eating issues are part of the problem. Client-centred therapy is another core method she uses; it gives people space to be heard and accepted while they make sense of feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, used selectively, helps break down patterns of unhelpful thoughts and build small practical changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood.Choosing the right approach is a shared decision. Kimberly works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress at stages and adapts the plan if life events or new issues emerge, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or health needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging offer quieter or more flexible ways to connect. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try different approaches without travelling to an office.
