About Kay
Kay Kimberley is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She works with those coping with depression, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. Parents and people worried about sleeping, eating or career strain will find straightforward support.
Kay holds BACP accreditation and offers therapy in English across the United Kingdom and internationally. Kay draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of strong feelings in relationships and within themselves.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred methods to create a calm, respectful space where people set the pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when thinking patterns and daily habits need practical change. Her background includes many years in mental health and substance-abuse settings, giving her hands-on experience with addiction and co-morbidity.
That experience includes work with domestic violence, post-traumatic stress and personality difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, codependency, abandonment and related challenges. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Kay has six years of practice as a BACP counsellor and builds each plan around what the client needs. People who want a direct but compassionate approach can expect practical steps and emotional attention.
The first step is to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

Online support
How Kay's approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong feelings and how those feelings affect relationships and self-view. It can be useful for people who feel stuck in painful interaction patterns and want to change how they respond to emotional triggers. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and letting the client lead the pace of work; it suits people who need a respectful, non-directive space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing routines or habits that keep problems going, which is helpful for anxiety, sleep issues and mood problems.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked before, then suggest a blend of methods that best fit the client's needs. That means plans can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps keep face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while maintaining continuity of care.
