About Kim
Kim McCloskey uses emotionally-focused work to help people better understand their feelings and how those feelings shape their responses. She has 15 years of practice and offers calm, straightforward support for common struggles such as anxiety, stress and depression. Kim aims to make sessions practical and easy to follow so people can try small changes between meetings.
Her background includes time teaching counselling and working as a lecturer, which she draws on when explaining ideas and strategies.
Background and approach
Kim also works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She pays attention to how emotions, thoughts and behaviours interact and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Kim draws on a range of approaches, including client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas, to build plans that fit the person sitting opposite her.
She can introduce mindfulness and dialectical skills where useful, and she offers hypnotherapy as another option for people who find that helpful. The shape of therapy depends on the person’s goals and what feels manageable. People often come to Kim for help with chronic pain, relationship endings, substance issues, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and challenges linked to ageing or fertility.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, with a focus on practical next steps. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled to suit both parties.
Fees vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work with core emotions that fuel their reactions. It can be useful for anxiety, grief and difficulties linked to trauma by naming feelings and changing unhelpful patterns.Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on the person's experience in the room and on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. This approach helps people feel heard and to explore what matters to them at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches concrete techniques to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. Sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try together. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people write when it suits them. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, family or travel while getting regular support.
