How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and gradually work through what is important to them, whether that is grief, relationship concerns, or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It provides straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping steps for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice and respond differently to intense feelings and stress. Short mindfulness practices can support sleep, reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation during difficult times.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Kimberly treats this as a collaborative task. She will talk through options with the person, try methods that fit their goals and adapt the plan as progress is reviewed. The aim is to match techniques to needs rather than applying a single method.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be lighter on data and easier to schedule, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins, written reflection or ongoing support between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people continue therapy around work, family or mobility needs.
