Kimberley Long , BACP

Kimberley Long is a UK-based therapist with 13 years of professional experience who brings a wide-ranging background in health and social care to her work. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and has provided therapeutic support across the NHS in both primary and secondary care, in private practice, and through community projects.

Over the years she has helped people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, childhood abuse and addiction, and she also works with relationship, family and grief issues as well as challenges such as self-esteem, parenting, career concerns and coping with life changes. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred approach, which places the client at the heart of the therapeutic process, and she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help clients develop practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

Kimberley aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and experiences can be explored honestly and safely. She recognises that beginning therapy requires courage and she offers steady, respectful support to people who are taking that first step toward change.

Approach-focused online therapy with flexible access

Kimberley blends client-centred work with evidence-informed techniques to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and other life challenges. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, respect and collaboration, giving clients space to explore their feelings and values while the therapist follows their lead - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding and emotional resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression and addiction and for improving daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be beneficial for intense emotions, relationship difficulties and repeated crises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kimberley works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their goals, needs and preferences. That process often combines elements from different methods to create a personalised plan.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care for people who live abroad or have limited local services, while still enabling skilled, licensed professionals to guide progress and skills development.
