Kim Gregory , BACP

Kim Gregory is a trained and qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom who works with adults, children, teenagers and young people. She practices in an integrative way, drawing on person-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused techniques, psychodynamic ideas and creative therapies so that her approach can be tailored to each person's needs.

She describes herself as warm, caring and easy to talk to, and aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore difficulties at their own pace. Sessions are shaped by what the client brings and by their goals, with Kim responding and adapting her approach as the work unfolds. She welcomes open feedback and actively encourages clients to say if something is not working so the therapy can be adjusted.

Kim holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to professional standards. She is happy to answer questions before someone starts and invites clients to message her between sessions with thoughts or worries. She aims to reply as soon as possible and generally within 24 hours unless she is away on vacation.

In the first session she will discuss what a client wants from therapy and how they might work together, keeping the plan responsive to the client's needs throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-directive relationship in which the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support. It is useful for people seeking understanding, emotional validation and a space to explore personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with coping skills by teaching practical tools and new ways of responding to situations.

Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and strategies for managing difficult emotions and stress. It can complement other therapies by helping clients tolerate strong feelings and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kim will work collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to tailor the work, and Kim adapts her style as the relationship develops.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for people who cannot meet in person. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, manage appointments around other commitments and continue therapy from different locations while still working toward meaningful change.
