Ms Sumin Kim

Therapeutic Counselor

“Trained counsellor, Based in South Korea, Fluent in Korean and English,”

About Me

I offer a warm, confidential space to explore life's complexities. Based in South Korea, I provide Counseling in both Korean and English. This makes my support accessible for a diverse range of clients. We can work together to understand your feelings and develop practical steps forward. My approach creates a collaborative environment. Here, you can feel truly heard, helping you navigate challenges with clarity.

Approach

Training and bilingual fluency shape how I guide therapy, keeping sessions practical and attentive to cultural nuance. In my An Yang office or online, I work in Korean or English, pacing sessions to suit adolescents and young adults so conversation, brief assessments and gentle homework fit day-to-day life. I focus on co-created goals, combining short skill-building exercises with reflective discussion to track shifts between meetings. People dealing with anxiety, identity or relationship concerns often find this steady, collaborative way of working helpful.
