Kimberley Daly , BACP

Kimberley Daly is a UK-based therapist who offers a compassionate, flexible approach tailored to each person she meets. She believes therapy does not need to be rigid or overly formal, and creates a space where people can bring whatever is on their mind - whether that is a need to process emotions, learn practical coping tools, or simply have a conversation to work out a first step. Kimberley holds the BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings five years of practical experience to her work.

She works with people rather than labels, supporting those who are carrying something heavy whether they can name it or not. A lot of her work focuses on anxiety, low mood, ongoing feelings of being on edge, and the lingering impact of past events. She also supports people who feel stuck or disconnected and those living with long-term health conditions - specifically diabetes - alongside the emotional toll that such conditions can bring.

Kimberley has experience supporting individuals connected to uniformed services, including those currently serving, veterans, and partners or family members who have quietly carried burdens. She also speaks from personal experience as someone living with type 1 diabetes, so she understands the persistent calculations, frustration, and emotional weight that chronic illness can bring.

Alongside her core practice, Kimberley is training in psychosexual and relationship therapy and integrates that work into her wider practice. She is a kink-aware, sex-positive therapist who respects consensual expressions of sexuality and does not pathologise them. Her relationship and sexual wellbeing work includes support for low or mismatched desire, pain during intimacy, changes after trauma or medical events, performance anxiety, body image concerns, exploring fantasies, and working through shame or changing relationship dynamics. Wherever someone is starting from, Kimberley aims to offer a respectful, nonjudgmental space to work through what matters to them.

Approaches that guide online work and practical access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and focuses on identifying personal values to create a more meaningful, action-oriented life. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with chronic conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the therapeutic relationship itself - offering empathy, acceptance, and nonjudgmental listening so clients can explore and make sense of their experience at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques from these approaches to suit each person. Together they explore what feels most helpful rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not practical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver effective, tailored support in ways that suit each individual.
