Kim Elliott
Supportive therapist for stress and trauma
About Kim
Kim Elliott offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed. She creates a space where someone can talk about painful experiences and start to find practical steps forward. Kim writes in plain terms and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Kim has three years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and addictions.
Background and approach
Additional areas she works with include attachment problems, abandonment worries, body image and caregiver stress, among others. Her approach mixes methods that encourage understanding emotions with tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot and try different ways of thinking and acting. Sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. Kim listens first, then introduces practical strategies the person can use between meetings.
Mindfulness and emotionally focused ideas are added when they suit the issue being worked on. Kim works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP.
People meet her by choosing a subscription plan and scheduling sessions that fit their life.

How her approaches work online
Kim blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people make sense of feelings and try new responses. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions, which can help with abandonment worries and relationship strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on recognising unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and trial methods together, adjusting what is used as you go. This collaborative stance helps match techniques to what feels most useful and realistic for everyday life.
Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, and messaging formats are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care responsibilities or travel, and they let people keep continuity of care across locations.
