About Kimberley
Kimberley Long is a counsellor who brings 13 years of professional experience to her work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practises in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and life changes.
Her background includes NHS roles in primary and secondary care, independent practice and community projects. That variety has given her a clear view of how health and social care intersect with everyday struggles.
Background and approach
She draws on those settings when thinking about treatment plans and next steps. Kimberley uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She listens first and sets out goals with each person.
She also includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy elements and mindfulness skills when they fit the client's needs. Sessions tend to focus on building coping skills, improving communication and reducing unhelpful thoughts or behaviours. She supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship issues and parenting challenges.
She also works with long-term mood concerns such as bipolar condition and complex experiences like attachment or abandonment issues. Her style is straightforward and warm. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and helped to choose a suitable session format.
Kimberley encourages small, practical steps so people can see progress between sessions.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday parenting worries
Client-centred work starts by listening to what matters to the person. It helps parents and adults feel heard and shapes the goals of therapy around real life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood or unhelpful patterns.Kimberley also draws on elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. These skills can help people respond differently when strong feelings or relationship tensions arise. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will review how techniques are working and adjust them to fit needs, goals and preferences.
Online sessions give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or fitting support around school runs and work breaks.
