About Kimberley
Kimberley Long is a counsellor with a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential and over a decade of practice. She presents a calm, straightforward style and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people under stress. Kimberley works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She has worked in primary and secondary NHS settings, community projects and independent practice. That range means she is familiar with health and social care pathways and the pressures people face when seeking help.
Background and approach
Kimberley supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, parenting stress and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Other areas she addresses include bipolar disorder, career changes and coping with life transitions.
Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, where the person sets the pace. She combines that with practical Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to build skills for daily coping. Dialectical behaviour ideas and mindfulness practices are brought in when they fit the client’s needs.
Sessions focus on clear conversation and real tasks to try between meetings. Kimberley aims to reduce shame and blame so people can talk honestly about what they want to change. She works collaboratively to set goals and to check how well different strategies are helping.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Trauma-focused therapy aims to help people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life. It often involves slow, steady conversations about what happened and ways to manage distressing reactions.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, which can help people build trust and find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems because it offers clear techniques to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kimberley will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels workable, then adapt techniques from different approaches as needed. This keeps the work collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
