About Kimberley
Kimberley Long is a counsellor who brings over 13 years of professional experience to her work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kimberley focuses on practical support for everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions.
She has worked in the NHS in both primary and secondary care, in private practice and on community projects. That background gives her a broad view of health and social care and how people navigate services. She uses a person-centred way of working to make sessions feel respectful and non-judgemental.
Kimberley combines person-centred foundations with cognitive behavioural techniques. This means conversations are led by the client while also using tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She aims to help people manage mood, cope with trauma, and reduce dependence on substances or behaviours.
Practical issues that often come up include relationship strain, parenting pressures, work stress, grief and life transitions. Kimberley also works with concerns such as attachment problems, bereavement, caregiving stress and dilemmas around commitment and control. She keeps things straightforward and goal-focused when that suits the person in front of her.
Many people feel nervous about starting therapy. Kimberley encourages small first steps and works at a pace that feels comfortable. She helps clients build skills they can apply between sessions so progress carries into daily life.
How Kimberley blends practical methods with online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The counsellor creates a non-judgemental space and helps clients clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, works with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers clear exercises to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberley will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client's goals, needs and pace. That means checking in about what helps and adapting tools so they fit everyday life rather than imposing a fixed plan.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue regular sessions while managing work, caregiving or health-related commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss what will work best and how to structure sessions to meet practical needs.
