Background and approach

Kimberley draws on therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attachment-focused work. In sessions she focuses on what is useful now - tools for coping, skills for better communication, and practices to reduce overwhelm. She also integrates mindfulness and dialectical approaches when someone needs emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

With 25 years of experience in social work, Kimberley has worked with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, blended family issues, aging and geriatric questions, and trauma-related needs. Her background includes practice addressing adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and domestic violence when relevant to a person’s situation.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kimberley commonly combines Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on the concern. EMDR is a structured method used to process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change behaviors, mood, and daily routines.

She approaches choice of method collaboratively. Together the therapist and client look at symptoms, goals, and preferences to decide whether EMDR, CBT, attachment work, or a mix will suit the situation. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats let people connect from home, use shorter check-in messages between sessions, or hold full conversations by video or phone. Kimberley tailors the session format to what helps the person engage with treatment and practice new skills in their daily routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
