Kay Kimberley, BACP

Kay Kimberley has worked across mental health and substance use settings, supporting both children and adults. She concentrates on addictive behaviors and the ways they interact with other mental health concerns, offering focused care for individuals managing co-occurring conditions.

Her practice addresses a wide range of difficulties including domestic violence, post-traumatic stress, personality disorders, problematic gambling, pornography addiction, ADHD, and behavioral stabilization. Kay draws on experience with complex presentations to help people identify patterns, manage symptoms, and build practical coping strategies that suit their lives.

Kay is BACP registered - BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her standing with a national professional body. She aims to create a supportive, goal-oriented space where people can work through addiction, trauma, relationship strains, and related issues at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kay Kimberley works with several established approaches to help people navigate stress, addiction, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective, offering a nonjudgmental environment that supports self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is designed to address the effects of traumatic experiences, helping individuals process distressing memories and develop safer ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kay works collaboratively with each person to choose or blend methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can engage in therapy from wherever they are and at times that fit their schedule. Registered professionals can adapt these modes to support ongoing work on recovery, relationship issues, and coping with life changes.
