About Kay

Kay Kimberley helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and the effects of trauma. She supports people dealing with depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and those navigating career challenges or major life changes. Kay also offers help for ADHD, compassion fatigue and a range of behavioural concerns.

Kay has six years as a practising counsellor and holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside wider experience in mental health and substance misuse settings.

Background and approach

She has spent many years working in services that deal with addiction and co-occurring mental health difficulties. This background shapes a practical, straightforward style in sessions. Her approach is collaborative.

Sessions focus on what people want to change and on small, manageable steps they can take. Kay uses client-centred work to listen and understand, then applies methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused strategies to address patterns that cause distress. People can expect clear, down-to-earth conversations and an emphasis on coping skills.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding the drive to change, while emotionally focused ideas can help when relationships and connection are central concerns. Kay offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life.

She works in English and accepts international clients, bringing practical experience from mental health and substance abuse services to her online practice.

Online support

Kay uses client-centred therapy to put the person’s needs and goals at the heart of every session; this means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the person’s pace while helping them make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression and many day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will talk through what feels most useful and adapt methods over time so the plan matches the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person helps shape the focus and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or other commitments while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
