About Kim Mcfarland

Kim Mcfarland brings a blend of long-standing experience in family and children’s work and several years of professional counselling practice to her therapeutic work in the United Kingdom. Having spent over 25 years supporting families and children and four years working as a professional counsellor, she offers practical, empathetic help for people facing relationship difficulties, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and the pain of grief and loss.

Kim approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries strengths that will support change. She helps clients identify and build on those strengths while offering guidance and a steady presence through difficult transitions. Her practice focuses on helping individuals and families navigate challenging life changes and repair or improve connection where it has become strained.

Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing often requires courage, and Kim aims to make that step feel manageable and supported. She is a BACP practitioner - a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with people who are ready to explore new ways of coping, relating, and moving forward.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Family and Relationship Work



Kim integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of safety and closeness, and it can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship difficulties, and family tensions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance where the therapist reflects and supports the client’s own insights and choices, which can aid those working through grief, life changes, or identity concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals, making it useful for coping with immediate problems like communication breakdowns, parenting challenges, or managing transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will work with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and focused.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect with a registered professional from home or another convenient location.
