Kim is a chartered psychologist who previously trained as an occupational therapist, a dramatherapist and a practitioner of cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). He worked for 25 years in the NHS in Hull and the East Riding in areas such as common mental health problems, personality disorders and functional syndromes (medically unexplained symptoms).
