Kim Lord

Psychotherapist & Counsellor

MBACP, (Dip.Couns)


I am an experienced and friendly Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor with a background in the NHS, working with clients with a wide range of issues including unresolved trauma, relationship problems, bereavement and anxiety, anger, abuse and depression.

In addition to offering therapy to adults and young people, I also offer couple counselling for clients seeking to resolve problems within their relationship. Couple counselling can help to explore issues such as breakdown in communication, dealing with an affair, sexual difficulties, etc.

If you have been experiencing problems which you feel are holding you back in life, then therapy is an option worth exploring. My aim is to help alleviate the suffering you may be experiencing by working with you to make the changes you need within a strong therapeutic relationship built upon trust and rapport.

Within my practice, I help clients experiencing a wide range of complex issues including trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, etc. We work together to facilitate desired changes or personal growth. It is important to remember that your well-being matters and your feelings are valid. We all have the right to self-development and a good quality of life.

Any changes you wish to make can begin today.

Relationship Counselling

I also offer couple therapy for clients who are seeking to resolve problems within their relationship. Couple work is not restricted to romantic partnerships; you may wish to work on a relationship with a family member, or any other meaningful relationship where you wish to attend as part of a couple. Couple therapy can help to explore issues such as breakdown in communication, dealing with an affair, sexual difficulties, etc. I do not side with either party, however I will be attending to destructive and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Couples therapy requires work and commitment; it is not a quick fix and can often be a painful and uncomfortable process. If you are seriously looking to work on your relationship and are not afraid of being challenged on unhelpful behaviours, then I may be the therapist to help.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I adhere to their ethical framework. I undertake regular supervision and frequently attend professional workshops and further training for my own continued personal development.
