Kimberley Daly, BACP

Kimberley Daly offers a warm, person-centred way of working that aims to meet people where they are. She keeps sessions simple and flexible, whether someone needs time to process, practical tools, or a calmer place to make sense of things. Kimberley lives in the United Kingdom and brings five years of experience to her practice, drawing on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centred Therapy. Kimberley is a BACP member, which reflects her standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In sessions she focuses on listening first and helping people decide what to tackle next. She supports people carrying anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with intimacy and relationships. Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic illness and disability, and aspects of sexual identity and kink culture.

Kimberley also understands the particular pressures of life connected to uniformed services and the daily challenges of living with type 1 diabetes. She offers a non-judgemental space to talk about how those experiences affect emotions, relationships and day-to-day coping. The work can include talking through past experiences that still affect the present and building practical steps for managing difficult moments.

She combines short-term, solution-focused ideas with longer conversations when they are needed. The focus might be on clarifying values, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, or developing small changes that make life easier. Kimberley aims to help people feel heard, valued and better able to move forward.

Outside of therapy she shares her life with two dogs and her own lived experience informs compassionate, down-to-earth conversations. She describes herself as kink-aware and sex-positive and is training in psychosexual and relationship therapy to extend the work she already offers.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses practical exercises to build actions that match personal values and is useful for anxiety, low mood and getting unstuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. It can help with anxiety, depression and stress by offering manageable tasks and behavioural experiments. Client-Centred Therapy creates a listening space where the client's experience guides the pace and content of sessions, supporting people who need to process emotions or find direction.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to try brief, solution-focused work, a CBT-style plan, ACT exercises or a more open, client-centred conversation, and they review what is working as they go.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is disrupted. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular sessions without travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking to ensure they fit with your daily routine.
