About Calm space counselling service
About Me
Hi, my name is Kim.
I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, loss, life transitions, trauma or simply feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to listen and support you.
As a qualified BACP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I work in an integrative way, offering a variety of services to meet your individual needs. I am a firm believer that although I may have a range of skills and techniques to be able to offer, you are the expert on yourself, so it is very much about working together to meet your goals.
Counselling Options
General
I offer a range of supportive therapies to help you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re looking for face-to-face sessions, online sessions, telephone support, or even something a bit different like below
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a highly effective therapy used to treat trauma and distressing experiences. By using bilateral eye movements or other forms of stimulation, EMDR helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories that may feel stuck, allowing you to heal from past events like accidents, neglect, or abuse.
This process enables you to recall painful memories without the emotional intensity or physical sensations attached to them, offering long-lasting relief and promoting emotional well-being.
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT, also known as tapping, is a gentle, yet powerful technique that helps release emotional blockages by combining cognitive therapy with acupressure. By tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on an issue, EFT can help reduce anxiety, stress, and emotional pain.
This technique empowers you to manage overwhelming emotions and break free from negative patterns. It’s simple, effective, and can be used to address a wide range of emotional and physical concerns, promoting healing and personal growth.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy is a safe, effective therapeutic technique that uses relaxation and focused attention to help you access your subconscious mind. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy can help address a range of issues, including anxiety, phobias, stress, and unwanted habits.
It’s a collaborative process where you remain in control throughout, and together we work to explore and shift underlying beliefs or patterns that may be holding you back. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for personal growth and positive change, supporting your journey to mental and emotional well-being.

Walking Therapy
There has been lots of research about the benefits of both exercising and being in nature has on mental wellbeing. It has been shown to reduce stress, help with depression, anxiety, insomnia, restore mental clarity and promote physical and mental healing.
Some people can feel overwhelmed by the intimacy of sitting in a room with a counsellor. Going out for a walk together can help to build the therapeutic relationship and reduce some of the intensity of sitting face to face. Combining movement and counselling can be very therapeutic.
