About me

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a trained and qualified therapist working with adults, children, teenagers and young people. I work integratively, employing the main theoretical disciplines, but predominantly use person-centred, CBT, Solutions-focussed, Psychodynamic and Creative therapies. This means I am flexible and able to adapt my approach specifically to suit you and your needs. No two people are the same and no two counselling journeys are the same; everyone is unique.

I am warm, caring and easy to talk to. I will always try to make you feel at ease and am genuine and compassionate, my aim is to listen with care and support you in exploring your difficulties. Very much we will be working together collaboratively. I see my place as providing a safe space and environment for you to look at and talk through areas of difficulty or worry. The time we spend together will be responsive to and guided by you.

I don't shy away from challenge in helping you explore and understand yourself and your thoughts and actions but do this always in a gentle, collaborative investigative way, helping you to understand and challenge yourself better. Therapy will be directed towards exploring your goals, aims and wishes and I encourage you to always talk to me and tell me if my approach or anything I do isn't working for you. Therapy is for you and so it has to respond to you and your needs.

Having read this far, I totally understand that starting counselling can be daunting and a trip into the unknown - please know, I am happy to answer any questions you may have and I hope that knowing what to expect will help you feel comfortable to get started with counselling. You can ask questions at any time and I actively encourage you to message me in between sessions with any thoughts, questions, worries or anything you want to share. I always answer as soon as I possibly can, certainly within 24hours. I know it can be frustrating waiting for a reply but please bear with me if I can't answer quickly - I will always answer. The only exception would be if I am marked as away on vacation.

In our first session together we will talk through what you want from your sessions and how we might work together. Our work together will always be guided by and responsive to you and your needs.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kim Gregory. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I was initially apprehensive about therapy, however, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I was struggling not only with the symptoms but with a lot of shame and guilt around those symptoms. Kim is extremely well-informed about ADHD, and has helped me rethink my relationship with shame and has taught me to have more compassion for myself. We have only met for 2 sessions, however, I look forward to the progress we can make together regarding all of my personal life goals.

From the very first session with Kim I felt very supported and heard. I really appreciated the approach and advice she gave me regarding my issues. In a very short time she was able to help me in various ways. Thank you so much Kim!

Kim is very caring, attentive and offers practical advice that helped me organise my thoughts and gave clarity on the emotions I’ve experienced through grief. Highly recommend her for anyone going through a sensitive event or for anyone who needs a caring voice to help organise their thoughts or feelings in an easy to understand way:

While I have only started therapy it has given me some hope that that I will in time be better able to cope with the challenges I face

Kim is a great listening ear. She is able to understand a lot of complicated issues and provide support. She leaves me with challenging homework that is always really helpful.
