My name is Kim Tapper

Offering online (Face Time, Skype, Watts App and Phone Counselling)

I have been a fully qualified counsellor for over 20 years . I am registered with the B.A.C.P and I am listed on their approved register. I mainly take a person centred approach, which is the belief that we can can all find the answers and solutions to our problems from within ourselves . However, I do use other approaches when required. My job is to guide you gently through the counselling process to help you overcome the conflict and the issues you are facing .

My experience has been that of working with teenagers and adults from a variety of different backgrounds. I specialise in abuse, domestic violence and series sexual assault as well as anxiety. anger management and depression. I also cover a wide range of other issues which include bereavement and loss, self esteem issues, relationship problems, family problems with separation and or divorce, and remaining child hood issues and traumas.. I am committed to providing the best care I can for each client and will work in the way that suits each individual .

I am currently also working as a support worker with autistic children, so have understanding of the issues and problems this can bring into the family environment

I offer video and phone counselling 

My first session will be a 50 minute session.  It will cover the contract between me, the therapist and you the client .  It will cover things like  code of ethics ,  confidentiality, and   It will be an assessment session to explore the issues that you sought therapy for ,  During this assessment session we will attempt to get a clear understanding of the matters which are important to you , so that I can formulate and find a focus for your on going therapy.   The session will also allow us to determine whether we both feel that we can work together moving forward
