About Kim
Kim McCloskey offers a client-centred way of working that focuses on listening and building trust. She draws on cognitive and emotion-focused approaches to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety and cope with depression. Kim uses practical methods to address addiction, trauma and grief in everyday language and steps.
Kim has 15 years of professional experience in counselling work across the United Kingdom. She previously taught counselling and worked as a lecturer, which she says shaped her practical, down-to-earth style.
Background and approach
Her credentials include BACP and NCPS, which are listed as professional registrations. In sessions she aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs. That means looking at thinking patterns, emotional responses and practical coping skills.
She also offers approaches for people navigating life transitions, relationship pain, and long-term health or ageing concerns. Kim works with difficulties such as self-esteem struggles, ADHD-related challenges, chronic pain and issues around fertility or end-of-life care. She also supports those facing domestic violence, divorce, addiction, dissociation and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps people can use between meetings. Kim aims to support people to feel stronger and more capable as they move through change.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and practising small changes. It can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving clear, structured tasks and thinking exercises to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills. It is useful for intense emotions, self-harm urges and relationship difficulties and often includes practical skills practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then suggest a plan to try. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face by screen. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection or fitting therapy into busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals adapt these formats to match therapeutic goals and practical needs.
