Kimberley Long , BACP

Kimberley Long is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She has worked across NHS primary and secondary care settings, private practice, and community projects, building a broad understanding of health and social care needs and a range of mental health difficulties. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) she follows recognised professional standards and brings that training into every therapeutic relationship.

She supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and childhood abuse, as well as addiction and related struggles. Her practice is rooted in a person-centred approach that creates an accepting and nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Within that supportive framework she integrates cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help clients identify patterns of thinking and develop practical strategies to manage emotional distress and improve wellbeing.

Kimberley aims to empower individuals to take greater control of their mental health by working collaboratively on goals and coping skills. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and notes the strength involved in taking that first step toward change.

Kimberley Long uses a person-centred approach that focuses on creating an empathic, supportive environment where clients are encouraged to lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps with a wide range of concerns by validating experience and fostering personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a key part of her work - it involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are incorporated when clients need tools for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kimberley works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions as therapy progresses so that treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and location. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and schedule sessions in ways that suit daily routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
