Kimberley Long, BACP

Client-centred therapy places the person’s needs and experience at the heart of the work. Kimberley listens first and helps clients set priorities, then adapts the pace and focus to what feels most useful. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, understanding space to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Kimberley uses CBT techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. This is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. She brings DBT strategies into sessions when clients need tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation or better interpersonal boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check progress and tweak the plan as needed so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Kimberley can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a consistent therapeutic relationship.
