Kim Zepler , BACP

Kim Zepler is a qualified and registered humanistic counsellor based in Dorset, United Kingdom, who holds a BACP credential and brings three years of clinical experience to her practice. She works in a conversational, client-led way with a focus on each person’s lived experience and needs, creating space for people to explore what matters most to them.

Humanistic therapy for Kim means listening without judgement and avoiding prescriptive advice or personal disclosure. Her approach supports people through a wide range of everyday and larger life challenges, from work or study stress, anxiety and relationship tensions to the complex feelings that follow loss and major life changes. Loss is understood broadly and can include bereavement, friendship breakdowns, family estrangement, relocation, changes in health, job loss or children leaving home, all of which can prompt uncertainty about identity and belonging.

Kim works in a trauma-informed way and is experienced supporting people after sudden or traumatic events, including suicide, serious illness and life-altering accidents, as well as physical, emotional, financial and historical abuse. Her practice integrates Person Centred, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis methods, and she can include creative exercises and simple mindfulness when appropriate. Therapy with Kim is described by her as client-led, with gentle enquiry and occasional challenge to support growth and healing.

She brings a warm, real and human presence, a playful imagination and a sense of humour to her work. Kim is not currently accepting new clients.
