Kimberley Daly , BACP

Kimberley Daly offers a warm, flexible approach to therapy that centres on what each person needs in the moment. She creates a space where clients can bring whatever is on their mind, whether that means exploring emotions, learning practical coping tools, or having a calm conversation to find a starting point. Her practice avoids rigid structure in favour of listening carefully and responding to each individual concern.

Based in Devon and sharing her life with two dogs, Kimberley has worked with people from many different backgrounds. She treats people rather than labels, supporting those who are carrying things they may not even have a name for yet. Common areas she sees include anxiety, low mood, a persistent sense of being on edge, past experiences that continue to affect the present, feeling stuck or disconnected, and the challenges of living with long-term health conditions, including diabetes.

Kimberley also has experience supporting people connected to uniformed services, understanding how that way of life can encourage pushing through emotions and create pressures that surface later. As someone living with type 1 diabetes, she speaks from personal experience about the emotional weight of managing a long-term condition. She is currently training in psychosexual and relationship therapy, which complements her work on sex, intimacy, identity and connection in solo or relationship contexts. Kimberley is kink-aware and sex-positive, and she approaches sexual wellbeing without judgment. She holds BACP membership - the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Kimberley Daly

Kimberley draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgmental, empathic space where the client leads the pace and content of work - it helps when someone needs to be heard, validated, and supported to find their own solutions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without being defined by them, and then committing to actions that align with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep people stuck. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impact of past traumatic events so they stop shaping present-day functioning in harmful ways - it supports people whose past experiences continue to affect relationships, safety, or wellbeing.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kimberley works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. As with other licensed professionals, she adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging, which helps people access support around work, health, caregiving, or location constraints. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when life changes occur.
