About Kimberley

Kimberley Long is a counsellor who brings 13 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has worked across NHS primary and secondary care, private practice and community projects. Kimberley focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and concerns.

Her work often addresses stress, anxiety and depression, as well as trauma, addiction and relationship difficulties. She uses a person-centred way of working as the core of her practice and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage thoughts and behaviours. This mix aims to help people feel more able to cope day to day.

People come to Kimberley with issues such as grief, self-esteem struggles, parenting strain, anger and career change. She also offers support around intimacy-related issues, bipolar, and life transitions that feel overwhelming. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, cancer-related emotional effects, and substance-related difficulties.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Kimberley listens first and then works with each person to set realistic steps and goals. She encourages small, manageable changes that can lead to steadier routines and clearer thinking.

Starting therapy can feel daunting and Kimberley acknowledges that first step. She helps people find their pace, whether they want short-term coaching-style support or a longer talking therapy process tailored to their needs.

How Kimberley uses therapy approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. It helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and uses straightforward exercises to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley works with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals and current needs. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the therapist's current online formats before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit into busy lives because sessions can be scheduled around work or family commitments. Online meetings can also make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, helping therapy feel more like part of an ordinary week.
