About Kim
Kim Speake is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward support for relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low mood, and problems with sleep and eating. Kim aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what’s worrying them without feeling judged.
With three years of professional practice, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.
Background and approach
Kim focuses on building practical coping skills and boosting confidence, while also exploring how past experiences affect present behaviour. She pays attention to issues such as attachment, abandonment and intimacy struggles when these come up. Sessions with Kim are collaborative.
She helps clients set clear goals and looks for small, achievable steps that fit everyday life. Conversations can cover communication problems, control issues, addiction and compassion fatigue, depending on what a person brings to therapy. People who need flexible contact options can choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Kim works in English and accepts international clients when that suits a person’s needs. Her registration is recorded with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Kim uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress by teaching step-by-step strategies to manage difficult moments and reduce overwhelm. Another approach looks at past attachment experiences to understand current relationship patterns and improve communication and emotional connection. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods and adjust them if something doesn’t feel like a good fit. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are useful for a shorter check-in or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or want ongoing, brief contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.Questions people ask about Kim
