Kim Gregory , BACP

Kim Gregory is a trained and qualified therapist who works with adults, children, teenagers and young people. She follows an integrative practice that draws on several theoretical traditions, using person-centred, cognitive behavioural, solutions-focused, psychodynamic and creative therapies as needed to suit each individual. This flexible approach allows her to tailor sessions to the unique circumstances and goals of each person she supports.

She is warm, caring and approachable, and prioritises building a collaborative working relationship. Kim listens attentively and offers compassionate, honest feedback, creating an environment where people can explore difficult feelings and patterns without judgment. While gentle in tone, she will also introduce constructive challenge when that supports greater self-understanding and change.

Therapy with Kim is guided by the client - sessions respond to what the person brings and are shaped around their aims, wishes and pace. She encourages open communication about the process and invites clients to say if an approach is not working so that adjustments can be made. Between sessions she welcomes messages about thoughts, questions or worries and aims to reply as soon as possible, typically within 24 hours unless she is away on holiday.

In an initial session Kim will discuss what the client hopes to achieve and how best to work together, ensuring the therapeutic plan reflects individual needs. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
