Kimberley Long, BACP

Kimberley Long is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings established professional standards to her practice.

Her background includes work in the NHS within primary and secondary care settings, private practice, and community projects, which has given her a broad understanding of health and social care needs and a wide range of mental health issues. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.

Kimberley grounds her work in a person-centered approach that values the client’s experience and builds a trusting, non-judgmental space for exploring thoughts and feelings. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and other practical tools to help clients recognise patterns, develop coping strategies, and regain a sense of control over their wellbeing. She welcomes international clients and offers therapy in English. Taking the first step can be difficult, and Kimberley aims to make the process as respectful and empowering as possible for each person she works with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kimberley works from a person-centred foundation that places the client’s experience at the heart of therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy, helping people explore their feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding and self-worth - it is helpful for relationship issues, low self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, addictions, and everyday stress by teaching skills to reframe thoughts and develop healthier coping responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Kimberley collaborates with each person to select or combine methods that match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from varied locations and allow therapy to fit into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
