About Kimberly
Counsellor and registered member of the BACP, Kimberly Bennett has 19 years of UK practice experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem concerns.
She keeps sessions focused on the person in front of her. Sessions aim to let people talk through feelings, identify what is getting in the way, and try out small changes. Kimberly uses a mix of client-centred listening alongside practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioural work and solution-focused techniques.
Her background includes work with a national UK charity on anxiety and two years supporting people in a hospice setting with bereavement and end of life issues. She also holds a diploma in Autism and offers strategies to navigate social communication, sensory differences and everyday routines whether a formal diagnosis is present or not.
Kimberly uses somatic-informed practices when physical responses to stress appear, and she brings mindfulness tools to help with recurring worry and low mood. She blends approaches so sessions can be conversational and action-oriented as needed. Periodic reviews are built into the work to look at progress and change focus where useful.
Sessions are offered in English. The profile states that she has delivered counselling by phone and online, and that the service in general uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says so they can understand their feelings more clearly. It supports people who need space to talk about stress, relationship issues, grief or low mood.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and actions and tries small practical changes to reduce worry or unhelpful behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, repetitive thinking and problems with sleep or routine.
Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and bring calmer moments into the day. It suits people who notice persistent worry or tension and want tools to steady their thinking.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which approaches to use. Reviews are built in so the pair can change direction if something is not helping.
The profile states she has provided counselling by phone and online, but it does not list every available format here. Confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online and phone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
