Counselling with Kim
Welcome to Counselling with Kim
Helping you move forward
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Counselling with Kim.
I am a a qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist.
About me
I am an experienced and qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist.
I am currently based in Cardiff for face to face appointments, and Online for anyone who would prefer or is further afield.
I have a background in support work and have worked extensively in the voluntary and statutory sector.
My approach and what I offer.
I work from an Integrative Counselling style, which means that I use several approaches, which allows me to be flexible and tailor each session to the individual. I am passionate about helping people get the most out of life and work towards their full potential. Sometimes change is small, or seeds of change are sown, sometime it takes huge steps or a leap of faith, whatever stage you are at, we can explore what is holding you back and work towards moving forward.
I am also qualified in Couples Counselling, so if you need or want to work on your relationship, maybe understand each other better, get in touch and let's explore the options.
Hypnotherapy is a different approach to Counselling. It involves deep relaxation with helpful suggestions. I use the powerful tool of the mind with imagery and suggestions to help you change unhelpful thoughts and patterns and live more in the present moment. I explain the process as we work together and there may be a suggestion of practicing the techniques in-between session, to help embed the process of change. I may offer you a recording, which can enhance our work which can also help keep you motivated in-between sessions.
The type of issues that I work with include:
Anxiety. Stress
Grief / Loss.
Acceptance.
Confidence Building. Self-Belief.
Finding Yourself Again or Identifying your True Self.
Trauma.
Shame / Guilt.
Domestic Abuse and Sexual Abuse.
Relaxation.
Sleep.
Self-image. Acceptance.
Breaking unwanted habits.
Decision Making. Identifying Goals and Planning.
Relationships / Couples Work.
This list is not exhaustive so if you have an issue you would like to work on, contact me and we can discuss it.
I offer a free telephone consultation which lasts about 15 minutes. It allows you to ask any questions about the service I offer.
It may be your first step in connecting with someone to look at any issues which you would like to work on. I am friendly and approachable and non-judgemental. You may prefer Counselling or Hypnotherapy or a combined approach. Whichever way we decide to work together, it will be your decision. You are the focus of the work and I'm here to help you.
If we decide to make an appointment, I will email you some paperwork to be read and accepted before your first session.
Where to find me?
I work online and can work with anyone, anywhere in the world, providing that English is spoken, as unfortunately this is my only language.
I can also offer face-to-face appointments in Cardiff.
