About Kimberley
Kimberley Long is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 13 years of experience working across NHS services, private practice and community projects. Kimberley aims to make the first step into therapy easier and more manageable for people who are worried or unsure about starting.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Kimberley uses a person-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to offer tools clients can use between sessions.
Kimberley has supported people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, codependency, grief, parenting strain and career stress. Her work covers both sudden life changes and long-standing patterns that feel hard to break.
In the room she focuses on what matters now. Conversations aim to clarify unhelpful patterns, try new ways of coping and build small, realistic changes. Sessions are collaborative - she helps people set goals and measure progress in ways that feel achievable.
Her background in NHS primary and secondary care gives her a broad view of health and social care needs. That experience informs how she links practical coping strategies with everyday routines and responsibilities.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and gain clarity about what they want to change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for regulating strong emotions and improving how someone copes under pressure.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Kimberley will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often blend listening, home practice and skills coaching to make remote sessions practical and goal-focused.
