About me

My practice
Kym has been a therapist for 25 years, initially as a Myotherapist, transitioning to psychotherapy and counselling to support individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges, mentally and emotionally. She wholeheartedly embraces and respects all clients' diverse ways of life in her psychotherapy practice.

Kym excels at building solid, safe relationships collaboratively that cater to the bespoke needs of clients in a non-judgmental way. She supports and empowers people to make a meaningful and sustainable difference in their lives.

Kym draws from integrative approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Repair, Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Informed Therapy, and other relevant models. Her approach caters to clients with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship disturbances, self-esteem issues, the impact of abuse, trauma, grief and loss, addiction, and other presenting problems. Additionally, she works with strength-based models to assist clients to reach their goals and thrive.

Of utmost importance to Kym is providing her clients with the resources they need to overcome adversity and suffering whilst learning to accept and adapt to the complicated facets of life where required. Kym's therapeutic approach is also rooted in a deep exploration of a client's early life experiences, with a focus on understanding and facilitating healing.

Kym believes that the client knows themselves best. She aims to nurture their autonomy and agency so they can ensure how they show up in the world. This self-advocacy allows people to choose how they live, incorporating deep reflective thinking and emotional regulation so they can feel, think, and respond appropriately to life.
