Kimberley Long is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 13 years of professional experience working across the NHS, independent practice and community projects in the United Kingdom. Kimberley focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and addiction.

She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings. Her background includes work in both primary and secondary care settings, which gave her practical insight into health and social care needs.

Background and approach

That experience informs a straightforward style in sessions. Kimberley uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work and combines it with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people manage day-to-day problems. She also draws on elements of dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing when these suit a person’s goals.

Sessions focus on simple tools you can use between meetings and on building small changes that add up. Kimberley supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, career stress and life transitions. People often come with complex issues such as trauma, addiction, bipolar symptoms, attachment concerns or long-standing low self-esteem.

Kimberley aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears and work with each person to agree clear, achievable steps. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, with practical strategies tailored to everyday life. She offers therapy in English and is able to work with international clients.

If you want straightforward support for managing emotions and finding coping strategies, Kimberley provides calm, practical guidance and steady encouragement.

How Kimberley’s approaches work online

Kimberley uses a person-centred approach that focuses on your concerns and experience. This means sessions begin with listening and reflection so the work follows your priorities and pace. It is useful for building trust and clarifying what matters most to you.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which includes practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations by teaching simple strategies to use day to day.

Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are used when people need tools for regulating strong emotions and improving communication. Those skills are helpful for managing intense feelings, reducing impulsive responses and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberley will discuss options, listen to your goals and adapt methods to suit your needs. The plan is decided collaboratively and can change as you progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let you meet face to face when helpful, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
