About Kim

Kim Speake is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with anger, depression, addiction and sleep or eating concerns.

Kim offers practical, straightforward conversations aimed at helping people manage upsetting feelings and recurring patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, doable changes someone can try between meetings. She listens for how past experiences and attachment patterns affect current reactions and relationships.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person's needs. That can mean using structured ways to manage strong emotions, exploring relationship dynamics, or working on routines that improve sleep and eating. She pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, control issues or feelings of emptiness that often sit behind anger and other struggles.

Kim accepts clients from the UK and internationally and delivers counselling in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then books a first session via the See online therapy options button.

People who want clear, practical support for anger, stress or relationship problems will find short-term, focused work and steady follow-up in sessions with Kim. She aims to help people notice triggers, try different responses, and build steadier patterns over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Kim draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotions, relationships and behaviour. One common strand is work that helps people recognise and manage strong emotions by identifying triggers, practising calmer responses and building short coping routines. This is useful for anger that shows up at work, at home or in close relationships.

She also uses approaches that look at relationship patterns and attachment. These methods help people see how early or current relationship experiences shape expectations and reactions, and they support practical changes in communication and boundaries. Another practical element is routine-based work for sleep and eating, which can reduce emotional reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods best fit someone’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to keep continuity of care and follow progress between meetings.
