Kim Speake, BACP

Kim Speake helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about their next steps. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through worries about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-esteem and motivation. Her name is Kim Speake and she works from a person-focused, practical stance to help people make small, manageable changes.

Kim has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice. She concentrates on day-to-day problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with addiction, intimacy concerns, ADHD and the ripple effects of separation or domestic violence.

In sessions she encourages open conversation and clear goals. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building coping skills, improving communication, and restoring confidence. Kim helps clients notice patterns that get in the way and try out new ways of responding.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, body image, control and commitment issues. She aims to break problems down into workable steps so progress feels realistic and steady.

Kim accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and conducts work in English. People who want to start will be guided through a short matching questionnaire before scheduling, so initial steps are simple and practical.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Kim uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer daily routines. One common technique helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses in everyday situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another technique concentrates on building coping skills and small behavioural changes to improve sleep, eating patterns and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and recommend which techniques to try first. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into busy lives because they save travel time and can make it easier to have regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions at times that suit work and family routines, which makes keeping momentum easier.
