Beyond the therapy room; Dr Kim, Clinical Psychologist

Dr Kim didn’t always work in a calm consulting space — she began her career in prisons, supporting people through complex and often confronting life experiences. That foundation continues to shape how she shows up today: curious, grounded, and deeply non-judgemental.

Today, she leads a growing practice, supports the next generation of psychologists (almost 40 students and counting), and works with clients across the lifespan using Schema Therapy and EMDR.

But also…
She loves trash TV.
She’s a cake decorator on the side.
And she’s committed to a daily skinny latte ☕️

Because behind every psychologist is still a person — and that’s part of what makes the work meaningful.

If you’re new here, welcome 🤍

A reintroduction to our story—and the person behind it.

Dr Kim, clinical psychologist and founder of DKM.

What started as three rooms in 2020 has grown into a team supporting people across the lifespan.

Built with intention. Grown with heart 🤍

Teachers are fundamental in shaping our little people.

Good teachers guide.
They encourage.
They celebrate.
They cheer.
They hear.
They NOTICE.

Sometimes it takes just one person to change a child’s trajectory, to show a them they matter, that people can be trusted, that the world can be safe… even when it feels like it’s all going up in flames!

Thank you to all our schools who have supported our presence in your classrooms and offices, working with you to show kids they matter.

DKM @ Schools is a program that provides free, onsite counselling service staffed by our Masters-level provisional psychologists. There is no cost to families or schools, and students are able to access high quality mental health support across two school terms, at school! This means no need to start late or finish early, or for parents to play life Tetris to fit in another appointment.

We are so proud of this service and grateful for finding likeminded schools to partner with.

I often use humour in therapy. Some clients really respond to it… others not so much.

When I read this quote, it reminded me of the many clients who have only ever laid their authentic selves bare within the therapy room.

I think about the tears, the apprehension, the shame… and then the slow, courageous embrace of who they truly are.

To witness that evolution is a privilege.
To know my season in someone’s life has come to an end because they’ve found their footing — that’s transformative.

But the credit belongs entirely to our clients.

They do the work.
They are braver than they realise.
Stronger than they ever imagined.

Over the years, they’ve taught me things no textbook ever could — about resilience, about vulnerability, about the extraordinary nature of being human.

And about the quiet power of discovering that your truest self is already enough.

really summed it up nicely.
No notes.

Being a female therapist is the easy part, but a woman in business is another story. Despite so many of our graduates pursuing private practice, our universities do not provide us the training to navigate this part of our industry.

As we approach our sixth year in business, I reflect on the challenges and joys of growing DKM into what it is today; a warm, inviting, nurturing space for clinicians and clients. It hasn’t been a perfect run and we have more goals to aspire to, but I am proud of what we have built so far.

DKM Psychology is proudly female founded and run.

Happy International Women’s Day.

What does a psychologist actually do?

It’s not just nodding and saying “how does that make you feel?”

A psychologist is trained to understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, nervous system and life experiences all interact. We help you:

• Make sense of patterns that keep repeating
• Understand why you react the way you do
• Build practical skills to regulate emotions
• Process trauma safely (e.g., EMDR, schema-informed work)
• Clarify diagnoses through comprehensive assessments
• Strengthen relationships — including the one you have with yourself

At DKM, we work across the lifespan — from little people finding their feet, to adults untangling long-held stories.

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you.
It’s about understanding you — and helping you move forward with more clarity, choice and confidence.

Curious about whether psychology support might be helpful for you or your child? We’re here when you’re ready.

Our practice values ongoing education. Yesterday we had Jamilla from provide training to our provisional psychologists on the art of writing in plain language.

This knowledge will inform a revision of our templates to improve the functionality of our assessment reports. By making these informed changes we hope to support families, educators, and individual clients in understanding their needs and advocating for supports.

This type of training is only one way we support the next generation of psychologists! If you are looking for a field placement in the second half of 2026 we still have vacancy. Reach out by emailing enquire@drkimm.com

Writing an emotion down — and labelling it — helps move it out of your head and onto the page.
It gives your nervous system a pause.
Your brain a container.
And you a little more space.

Big change rarely comes from one breakthrough moment.
It’s built through small, healthy, repeatable skills — practiced consistently — that quietly reshape how you cope, reflect, and respond.

You don’t need to fix everything today.
Just start by naming what’s here.

✨give it a go, try writing one word tonight.

Recent media coverage around Brooklyn Beckham and the reported rupture in his relationship with his parents has sparked a lot of commentary — but beneath the headlines is something many people quietly recognise.

Major life transitions often expose long-standing family dynamics.

Not because anyone is “doing it wrong,” but because change asks old systems to stretch.

Healthy boundaries aren’t about cutting people off.
They’re about:
• recognising emotional limits
• redefining roles as life changes
• choosing what you carry forward — and what you don’t

You can deeply care about your family and decide what feels sustainable for you now.

🎧 Dr Kim recently spoke on about boundaries, family expectations, and mental health during big transitions — including (but not limited to) weddings.

The conversation is relevant for anyone navigating:
– guilt when asserting needs
– pressure to “keep everyone happy”
– the emotional load of change

Because boundaries aren’t rejection.
They’re information.
