Kim Forbes, BACP

Kim Forbes is an integrative, person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who combines training in life coaching and couples counselling to support people through change. She works from a perspective that values empathy, presence, and genuine connection, guiding individuals toward greater authenticity and a life less constrained by fear and anxiety.

Her practice includes support for relationship and couples issues, grief, trauma, sexuality concerns, anxiety, depression, divorce and the specific stresses many experienced during the COVID period, among other presenting difficulties. Kim aims to help people identify what holds them back and to develop practical, compassionate ways of moving forward toward a more fulfilling life.

Kim works in a warm, non-judgmental and congruent manner, offering respect and compassion while maintaining professional boundaries and client personal nature of sessions. She encourages clients to act on the impulses they often set aside - turning that deferred "later" into now - and she offers guidance and support as people take the first steps toward change.

Kim holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she integrates evidence-based approaches with a person-centred stance to tailor work to each individual's needs. She welcomes the opportunity to support those ready to pursue a more empowered version of themselves.
