About Kim
Kim Forbes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on common worries such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, intimacy issues and addictive behaviours.
Kim describes an integrative, person-centred way of working. Sessions focus on listening, understanding personal history and finding clear steps forward. She draws on practical approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
People often come for help with attachment wounds, abandonment worries and the tensions that arise in blended family situations. Kim also addresses eating and sleeping problems, body image and the fallout from separation and divorce. She offers space to talk through career stress and compassion fatigue for those in caring roles.
Her clinical practice includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based work alongside Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred approaches. These are used to suit the concern presented and the person's preferences.
Kim works in straightforward, conversational sessions. She encourages small experiments between sessions and practical ways to handle difficult moments. The emphasis is on clear steps that fit day-to-day life rather than abstract techniques.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It uses values and small committed actions to build a life that matters to the person, which can help with anxiety, stress and relationship choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and to change behaviours that keep problems going, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep issues.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that come from early relationships. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways with partners or when forming new stepfamily bonds, and supports changing those patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative decision made over the first sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tasks and between-session exercises so they work in an online setting.
