Kimberley Daly, BACP

Kimberley Daly offers approachable, practical therapy tailored to each person’s needs. She creates a flexible space where formal structure is optional and the focus is on what feels most useful - whether that is time to process, practical coping strategies, or an open conversation to find a starting point. She treats people rather than labels, inviting anyone who is carrying something heavy to explore it at their own pace.

Kimberley lives in Devon with her two dogs and has built a career supporting people from many different backgrounds. She has five years of professional experience and holds membership of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), which reflects a recognised standard of practice in the UK. Her work often supports people managing anxiety, low mood, a persistent sense of being on edge, and the ongoing effects of past experiences that continue to show up in day-to-day life.

She also works with those living with long term health conditions and brings personal insight as someone living with type 1 diabetes - understanding not only the physical aspects but the emotional load, the calculations, and the pressure that can come with self-management. Kimberley offers specialised support for people connected to uniformed services, acknowledging how that way of life can shape coping styles and emotional needs.

Alongside general therapeutic work, Kimberley is currently training in psychosexual and relationship therapy. This training complements her practice supporting issues around sex, intimacy, connection, identity, and relationship dynamics. She describes herself as kink-aware and sex-positive and does not pathologise consensual expressions of sexuality. Wherever someone starts, Kimberley aims to help them feel heard, valued, and respected as they work through what matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy supports them

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, and focuses on living in line with personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, chronic health challenges, and situations where avoidance has become a problem.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients can explore their experience and find their own solutions. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and times of life transition.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the ongoing impacts of past traumatic events, helping people safely process memories and reduce their hold on current life. It is particularly relevant for those managing the effects of abuse, violence, or other distressing experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kimberley works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to suit what is most helpful.

Online work offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, through live chat, or by text messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and health commitments. For many people this range of options improves accessibility and helps maintain continuity of care, especially when juggling busy or changing lives.
