Kim Forbes , BACP

Kim Brady Forbes is an integrative, person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist with additional qualifications in life coaching and couples counselling. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards for practitioners in the United Kingdom. Kim aims to support people in discovering their authentic selves and in learning to live with less fear and anxiety, helping them move toward a fuller, more engaged life.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including couples and relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, questions about sexuality, anxiety, depression, divorce and covid-related anxiety, among other issues. Her approach is warm, empathic, non-judgmental and congruent, offering clients respect and compassion while maintaining professional boundaries and personal nature of sessions. Kim encourages action rather than postponement, supporting people who are ready to move from an old way of living toward a more fulfilling one.

Her practice emphasizes guidance and collaboration, helping clients to build the skills and confidence needed to face challenges and make meaningful changes. Kim seeks to empower individuals and couples to develop resilience and a clearer sense of purpose as they navigate life transitions and emotional difficulties.

Attachment and acceptance-focused approaches for online therapy

Kim Forbes uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress and problems with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy provides a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s experience is central and the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to foster self-understanding and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Kim works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. She views therapy as a partnership between the client and the therapist or licensed professionals involved in care.

Online therapy with Kim can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, work or while traveling, and to choose the format that best suits each person’s life and preferences.
