Kimberley Daly, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that align with what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, ongoing stress and for finding motivation when life feels stuck. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the pace the person sets, which can help when someone needs space to process or make sense of painful experiences.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and for tackling specific problems like sleep disruption or worrying thoughts. Kimberley uses these approaches alongside trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect day-to-day life, adapting methods to what each person needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and current difficulties and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is close to face-to-face and useful for longer sessions, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping a steady therapeutic pathway.
