About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 19 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes that often affect people in early adulthood. She also supports people with trauma, parenting pressures, sleep and eating issues, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her work uses a person-centred approach. Sessions focus on listening and understanding what matters to the individual. She helps people name patterns that cause distress and tries to find practical ways to manage them day to day.
Kimberly draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours that feed worry and low mood. She also uses mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people feel more grounded in the body and the present moment. Solution-focused tools are used when clients want short-term practical steps and goals.
She has recent experience supporting people through bereavement, and has worked in a hospice role for the last two years. She also holds a diploma in autism and supports autistic people with communication, sensory and social differences whether a formal diagnosis is present or not.
Sessions include regular reviews so the plan can be adjusted as life changes. She combines counselling and coaching skills to help with motivation, confidence and decision-making. To begin clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Kimberly uses client-centred work that focuses on what the individual brings to each session. That approach means listening first, reflecting what’s happening for the client and building a plan from their priorities. It is useful for people who need time to clarify feelings and choices.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. These methods offer practical exercises and steps to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change behaviours that get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness is used alongside this to develop present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and review progress at set points. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made when life events change priorities.
The biography states she is trained to deliver therapy online and by phone, so confirm the current session formats when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or caregiving schedules. Phone sessions can offer a shorter check-in and less need for video, while video sessions allow visual contact for exercises and body-based techniques. Ask about the format that best fits your day-to-day needs.
