About Kim
Kim works with adults and with young people aged 16 and over, offering a warm, calm and safe environment where clients are invited to share, reflect and explore what is causing them distress. Her integrative-relational training means she draws on a range of therapeutic ideas and techniques, adapting the way she works to meet each person’s particular needs rather than following a single rigid method.
At the centre of Kim’s practice is a belief in the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change. She approaches each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths that can be mobilised to face challenges. Whether someone is navigating grief, relationship difficulties, or other emotional concerns, Kim aims to create a supportive space for growth and clearer understanding.

Integrative-relational support offered online
Kim Smith works from an integrative-relational perspective, which means she blends complementary therapeutic ideas and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. This approach focuses on how relationships - including the therapeutic relationship - shape thoughts and feelings, and it can be helpful for issues such as relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and emotional regulation.
Kim also brings focused grief and bereavement training to her work. That training supports people experiencing loss by providing sensitive, structured ways to process grief, explore meaning, and adjust to life after bereavement.
Alongside these approaches Kim emphasises a strengths-based stance, recognising the client as the expert of their own story and working to identify existing resources and coping strategies that can be built upon.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kim collaboratively explores options with each client to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can then be delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This online range helps make consistent contact possible for those balancing work, family, or mobility considerations, while maintaining a regular therapeutic rhythm.
