Reviews – Kim Barden Therapies

I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for nearly 10 years, I’ve gone through CBT, Counselling numerous times and healing, which was amazing. The person I used to see I had a connection with and they made me feel safe, unfortunately, that person left and I have never felt that connection with anyone since not until I met Kim. As soon as we started talking I knew I was in safe hands and I knew I could trust her. As we started BWRT I started to relax immediately, as we progressed there was a point I knew I was going to struggle and I could feel that fear building, with the Kim by side and guiding me through I knew I was going to make it out the other side. And as I am typing this I can feel myself smiling. Thank you Kim for helping me find myself again.

Kim was always professional without being too formal and I felt comfortable talking to her. She listened and allowed me to express myself. I understand the concept behind BWRT but felt a bit vulnerable and found it hard to concentrate consistently. It has helped to stop me from obsessing about my problem and to come to terms with the fact that there may not be a simple answer and that sometimes things are “as they are”.

Thank you Kim for working so hard and exploring every possible avenue with me without being critical. I realise that you did a lot of homework and preparation to help make the sessions productive. I hope I can build on this work and deal with the problem more constructively in the future.

Thank you once again and very best wishes.

I am a Radiographer who specializes in breast screening and with the onset of the pandemic in 2020 I was redeployed to a different department. This left me traumatized and very frightened. I had not worked in this other department for over 25 years and was left floundering. Anxiety and severe insomnia kicked in and I started to suffer from panic attacks. Having tried different coping strategies and still struggling with panic attacks one year on, I reached out to Frontline 19, who matched me with Kim at Anxiety Angel Surrey and wow, what a difference. Kim was very compassionate and easy to talk to and offered me BWRT therapy. After only a few sessions it made a world of difference to me. My husband could see a marked difference in me, even after the first session. The big test for me was being put out of my comfort zone recently to learn some new skills at work. I was able to embrace this with only minimal anxiety and no panic attacks thanks to the therapy that Kim has done with me. I can’t thank Kim enough for her help, it has been invaluable. BWRT has really worked for me.

Thank you.

FEAR OF FLYING

I did a BWRT session for a fear of flying. After the session when I think about flying now i just feel relaxed and looking forward to it, rather than approaching it with fear and anxiety. Thanks, Kim

I have been lucky enough to have sessions with Kim over the last few weeks and I am already feeling much more positive. She has identified that some of my anxiety stems from early bereavement and has helped me to work through this while helping to address other issues. I have felt it’s been very easy to open up to Kim. She is perceptive, kind, compassionate, and personable. I can highly recommend Kim

I have had a couple of sessions with Kim to help me with my anxieties, and confidence, to help me deal with things that have happened in my past, and to learn to let go of things.

Kim was very kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. I was nervous going into my first session, but she soon made me feel comfortable and I relaxed.
Kim has helped me so much and I feel ready for the next chapter in my life, would highly recommend it.

Thank you, Kim,

MOT NEEDED

I started sessions with Kim last year and what a difference it has made to my life and wellbeing. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a little extra hand in life or just a good M.O.T. Thanks Kim.

FOR THE LOVE OF CHOCOLATE

I have tried all sorts of remedies over many years to gain control over my complete lack of willpower around chocolate. When Kim suggested BWRT, I was more than happy to try. After just one session I feel as though I am now in control of the chocolate, rather than the chocolate being in control of me. I have no real idea what exactly happened in the session, as it seemed rather unremarkable, and rather dubious I must admit, but it did the trick. I still love chocolate, but instead of relying on it when I am tired, stressed, or just plain hungry, I am able to recognise the triggers, reason with myself, and decide whether something else is what I need, or whether I do deserve and will savour the chocolate. Kim is great, very relaxed, friendly, and clearly a professional. Thank you so much.

I have had a few traumas throughout my life, but tragically losing my sister sent me into a downward spiral. I had tried many counselling sessions in the past, which worked for the short term but never felt like the ‘old, confident’ me. I turned to alcohol for a while as a coping mechanism, however knew this was further impacting my depression and anxiety. I decided that I needed help and turned to BWRT SURREY. At first, I must admit I was skeptical and scared of what BWRT and hypnotherapy were, having never done this before. On my first session I had opened up to Kim like nobody before, I felt a warmth and a caring nature which I felt comfortable sharing some of the darkest moments I have encountered in the past.

Since starting the sessions we have covered a variety of ways to cope with panic attacks and overcoming the fears I have in life. Kim has facilitated hypnotherapy, BWRT sessions, given me tools to cope, talked through mindfulness, given me recipes for herbal teas, given advice for relaxation techniques, advised vitamins and essential oils, kept a diary of mood changes, helped to stop smoking, talking through ups and downs what have happened during the week. I feel so comfortable talking to Kim and do not feel any barriers or awkward atmospheres. Kim has offered to ‘hold my hand’ until I feel strong enough to face life as ‘ME’ again. I have shared laughter and tears throughout our sessions, but cannot express what a huge positive influence she has been at this difficult time of my life. Kim always is guided by how I feel and will ensure I feel comfortable with the treatments beforehand. Kim is invested in helping people and this shows within her practice.

Since progressing in each session myself and my family have noticed a huge change in my positive attitude towards life again. I would recommend Anxiety Angel to anyone who is struggling with life and needs impartial, positive support.

I have been undertaking “Slim via Hypnosis” with Kim for the last 7 weeks and I’ve been amazed by the results. I never thought I would be able to achieve a healthy weight but with her support and guidance I have found it easy and I’ve lost almost two stone already. I had no motivation or energy to exercise before but now I find that being more active is actually really enjoyable. I feel so much more confident and I really look forward to our sessions.

Having worked in care for over 20 years this year has been the most challenging and stressful. At a time that I found myself unable to cope I was referred for online counseling where I met Anxiety Angel. Using different methods such as hypnotherapy and taking therapy she helped me get things into perspective, making me realize that it was important to look after myself in order to look after others. I found my Angel very easy to talk too, share my thoughts with, she was very empathetic and always understanding. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is struggling with anxiety or any form of stress to seek help and support from Anxiety Angel.

I was recommended to work with Kim for my anxiety and panic attacks. Kim is a very experienced and knowledgeable therapist who is very understanding and has shown me lots of ways to improve my mental health. There is no judgment at all which puts you at ease and allows you to feel open and honest to help your needs. I highly recommend Anxiety Angel and look forward to continuing my sessions.

Life-Changing

Before I met Kim, I was apprehensive to talk to anyone about my anxiety which I have suffered from for 25 years. However, from the moment I met her I felt safe, comfortable and empowered. Kim is highly professional and genuinely cares about her patients. She goes above and beyond what you would expect. Our relationship was not like a therapist and patient but more like two friends. Three months ago I never would have thought that I would ever step foot on a tube again but thanks to Kim and the tools she has equipped me with I am looking forward to booking the Eurostar to Paris! Since my treatment with Kim my life’s beginning to change for the better and I could not have done it without her. If you are seeking help, I would not hesitate to recommend Kim.

Kim helped me overcome my fears over several issues, she talked to me took time and made me feel positive and confident about who I am. I can’t thank Kim enough. She has given me my life back and my confidence is now there.

Kim is the best. Thank you, Kim, for you invaluable help and support.

I highly recommend Kim, she is a caring, knowledgeable therapist who listens to your needs and goals and then tailors the best therapy for you to achieve those goals. She has been a huge help in enabling me to overcome long standing issues. Thank you so much Kim.

Hugely rewarding therapy

Kim’s therapy has been invaluable in helping me repair my self-esteem and confidence after many years of depression and addiction. Her warmth, wisdom and expertise made every session relaxing, constructive and deeply insightful. The tools her therapy has equipped me with continue to make a positive difference in my life and I would recommend her to anybody seeking help and guidance with a broad range of conditions.
