Background and approach

Her core style is client-centred, meaning sessions start with the person's own goals and experiences. She combines this with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Dialectical behaviour skills and mindfulness tools are used when emotional regulation or distress tolerance are needed.

Kimberley draws on experience from primary and secondary care settings, and from community projects. That background helps her navigate common health and social care concerns alongside everyday life stressors. She aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where feelings can be spoken about honestly.

Therapy with Kimberley is collaborative and paced to what the person needs. She encourages small, achievable steps and practical strategies that fit daily life. Many people come to her wanting clearer coping plans for anxiety, better communication, or help with major life transitions.

How her approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person identify what matters most and set practical steps to move forward.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can ease anxiety and low mood.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, uses skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people struggle with repeated intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley will discuss options and make decisions together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made.

Online sessions mean therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when written reflection feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these formats to make therapy more flexible and accessible.
