Recent Testimonials

I found Kim to be authentic, compassionate and wonderfully nurturing. Kim held the space, creating safety and allowing everyone to feel heard with no judgement.  Her knowledge, warmth, authenticity, alongside her sense of humour and playfulness made it so enjoyable to spend the weekend at the Counsellor’s Retreat.

Clients I’ve worked with using Kim’s whiteboard techniques have since shared how much clearer and more grounded their thoughts feel when they see their words and images on the screen. One of the best parts is that clients leave each session with a visual record of what we discussed—no need for extra notes or follow-ups.

I highly recommend this to any therapist looking to enhance their sessions with creativity and visual tools, whether online or in person.

Jodie Zoom Whiteboard Webinar participant Oct 2024

Kim has supported me effectively with both client work and the holding of a private practice counselling service, helping me to reflect on my processes as well as the wider context of my work. Kim is well-informed about a range of therapeutic modalities and was able to draw upon a strong knowledge base of research to support me in my exploration of client work. Most importantly I experienced Kim as a compassionate and empathic practitioner who helped me to develop confidence in my role.

Julie Supervisee Nov 2024

I value the honesty, authenticity, good humour and a tapping into that which is greater than us – biology, the human condition and understanding.  I have appreciated the guidance and empathy you and your sessions offer.

I value Kim’s experience and knowledge. She has such great suggestions about how to work with clients of all ages, and how to approach different situations and ethical dilemmas.
Supervisee
I have been learning so much from Kim, such as techniques of how I can engage more creatively with clients. This has been really helpful, particularly in during COVID19 situation and the increased use of virtual technology. Each time I come away from supervision I have a list of topics/issues I am eager to learn more about. I love that I am challenged and inspired every session.

Kim is a wise and empathetic counsellor who has the rare gift of holding what you share with her. Her own life experiences combined with extensive, therapeutic knowledge gives her the skill to give her client security, reassurance, and guidance. She has helped me negotiate some of the toughest periods of my life. Forever grateful.
