About Kay
Kay Kimberley is a counsellor who supports men alongside other adults with stress, anxiety, depression and addiction concerns. She helps people who are struggling with grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and those coping with major life changes. Kay also works with clients dealing with ADHD, anger and low self-esteem.
Kay draws on six years of counselling experience combined with a longer background in mental health and substance-abuse settings. She uses straightforward listening and practical conversations to help people recognise patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small steps they can take between meetings.
Her practice includes work with trauma and abuse, domestic violence aftermath, and complex presentations such as co-morbidity and personality-related difficulties. She also supports people facing addiction problems including drug, alcohol, gambling and porn use, and the behaviours that can follow.
Therapeutic methods Kay uses include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work, motivational interviewing and trauma-focused approaches. These methods are applied in ways that suit the individual, not as rigid formulas.
Kay is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How Kay's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and encourages them to find their own solutions to stress, relationship and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves practical exercises and small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety, support mood and address unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name feelings and the patterns those feelings create in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy concerns and for repairing how someone relates to others. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as you go. If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from quieter surroundings or choose sessions without needing to be on camera depending on what the therapist provides.Areas of expertise
