Kimberly Bennett
Compassionate person-centred counselling for life changes
About Kimberly
Kimberly Bennett offers a person-centred approach that keeps the client at the heart of the process. She focuses on building a warm, respectful space where people can say what they need to and work at their own pace. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel heard and able to move forward.
With 19 years of experience, Kimberly adapts therapy to each person’s needs. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused and Somatic approaches to match practical tools to a client’s goals.
Background and approach
Sessions include regular reviews so the work can change if life circumstances shift. Her background includes work with a national UK charity on anxiety and two years supporting people in a hospice setting with grief and loss.
She also holds a Diploma in Autism and uses that knowledge to help people navigate communication, sensory processing and social interaction challenges whether or not a formal diagnosis exists. Kimberly combines counselling and coaching skills to support motivation, self-esteem and decision making. She helps people identify triggers in relationships and practise clearer communication when conflict arises.
Practical steps and small goals are used alongside emotional exploration. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She is a Registered Member of the BACP, works in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It aims to create understanding, acceptance and a calm space for people to talk through feelings and decisions. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives concrete tools to practise between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and increase awareness of the present moment. It can help with anxiety, sleep issues and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, needs and preferences. Sessions include regular reviews so the plan can be adjusted if something is not helping.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities and other commitments while still accessing an experienced counsellor.
