Kim Mcfarland, BACP

Kim Mcfarland meets people who are worn out by family tension, relationship strain or the weight of grief. She writes simply and listens closely so parents and individuals can make sense of what is happening now. Kim believes people hold the knowledge they need to move forward and offers steady support while they find it.

Kim has a BACP accreditation, which shows she meets national professional standards. She brings four years of professional counselling experience alongside a long history of family and children’s work in the UK. That background informs how she notices patterns in relationships and parenting moments.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that feel manageable. Kim aims to keep sessions down to earth and centred on what matters to the person in front of her.

She commonly addresses attachment concerns, blended family issues, communication problems and the stresses carers face. Other areas she supports include body image, guilt and shame, divorce and separation, and coping with midlife changes.

Kim also helps people navigate pregnancy and childbirth worries, money and financial stress, and finding life purpose after loss or big change. She uses approaches that foreground the person’s experience so therapy grows from their values and goals.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they most want to change. From there she works alongside them to set small goals and notice progress between sessions.

How Kim's approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand connection difficulties and how those patterns play out in family and romantic relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach suits people who want a steady, non-judgemental listener to help them make sense of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life. It can reduce travel time and help people keep continuity when schedules are busy. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm the available online formats before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
