About Kim
Kim Wilksch is an Accredited Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and has three years' experience. She is a mother and brings both life experience and professional training to work with people facing stress, anxiety, family issues, grief, depression and big life changes.
Kim uses everyday language and practical tools in sessions. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety and depression, and helps people build better communication skills. She also works with chronic pain and the stresses of caregiving using approaches that address everyday functioning.
Domestic and family violence, grief and loss, and issues of abandonment and attachment are areas she supports. Kim notes her lived experience informs her work with survivors of domestic and family violence and with people facing end-of-life matters and hospice care.
Faith matters to some clients, and Kim has theology training that lets her support Christians in ways that align with their beliefs. She also offers non-religious approaches and adjusts how she works to match the person's preferences.
Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Mindfulness, motivational interviewing and psychoeducation are woven into practical sessions focused on skills and insight.
Sessions aim to help people manage guilt and shame alongside other concerns such as isolation, forgiveness, infidelity, and family conflict. To begin, clients follow the service's booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Kim uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, guilt, grief and when life changes feel overwhelming.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can be helpful for abandonment, communication issues and relationship-related shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kim will discuss the options and help decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where skills, exercises and reflective conversation are chosen together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Practical benefits include working on mindfulness and behavioural skills from wherever you are, and shaping sessions to suit daily rhythms rather than making big schedule changes.
