About Kay
Kay Kimberley is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of counselling experience. She works with anger alongside related concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues and grief. Kay supports people who are dealing with trauma and abuse and those managing mood difficulties like depression and bipolar.
Kay has a background in mental health and substance misuse services. She has worked in settings that address addiction and co-morbidity between mental health and substance use. That experience informs how she talks through patterns that keep problems repeating, such as compulsive behaviour, gambling or pornography use.
Her sessions are practical and grounded. She uses client-centred methods to listen and understand what matters to the person. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify thoughts and behaviours that maintain anger and distress, and she uses motivational interviewing to support change when someone is feeling stuck.
Kay has experience supporting people with attachment difficulties, personality-related problems, ADHD and the effects of domestic violence. She also works with issues around intimacy, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Her approach is focused on clear goals and on helping people build strategies they can use day to day.
People looking for help are invited to consider their immediate concerns and what they want to achieve. Kay combines practical tools with attention to past trauma and current patterns, aiming to reduce reactive responses and increase choices in how people respond to anger and stress.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people clarify their priorities and feel understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce reactive responses and unhelpful behaviours.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to find what helps most. That collaborative process helps match short-term strategies with longer-term change.
Confirm the session formats Kay currently provides before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks at work or quieter windows at home. Many find that doing therapy from their usual surroundings helps them apply new skills between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain practical options when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
