Kim hold the belief that change can come if the environment is right and helps clients to adopt a more objective viewpoint to foster change.
Kim uses a number of tools and approaches from other therapeutic modalities such as CBT dependent on the individual client and their needs. Kim works to assess the areas clients raise and help them find a space they are comfortable to approach these areas over a period of time.

Kim has a special interest in body image/low self-worth, anxiety and depression and some of the clients she has worked with have benefited from her empathic but challenging approach to self-worth and the internal viewpoint they hold.
