Kim Gregory, BACP

Kim Gregory is a counsellor who helps adults with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and many other life challenges. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. Kim aims to make early contact easy and approachable for people who feel nervous about starting therapy.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what the person wants to achieve and are guided by the client’s needs. She listens carefully, asks questions that invite reflection, and offers practical ways to test new thinking and behaviour.

Kim uses a flexible mix of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on client-centred work to follow what matters to the person. Cognitive behavioural techniques help break down unhelpful thinking and create small, clear experiments to try between sessions.

She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to help manage strong emotions and build steady coping skills. Therapy is collaborative - decisions about techniques come from conversations between therapist and client.

Kim has seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, grief, body image and sexual health and intimacy-related issues. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English, and will respond to initial messages promptly to help people take the next step.

In the first meeting she will discuss goals, preferences and how to work together. People are encouraged to speak up if something in the approach does not feel helpful, so the work can be adjusted to fit their needs.

How Kim’s approaches translate to online work

Client-centred work places the person’s priorities first and involves listening closely to what they want to change. This helps shape each session around practical goals and what matters most to the client.

Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives simple experiments to try between sessions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing unhelpful habits or patterns.

Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Mindfulness techniques are often woven in to help bring attention back to the present and reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and they will decide together which techniques to use.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering a quieter space that suits the person’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote work so progress continues between sessions.
