Approaches for Online Support and Healing
Kaye Kimberley integrates several practical therapeutic approaches to support change and emotional wellbeing. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work - it helps people build self-understanding and a stronger sense of agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and sleep or eating concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends directly to the effects of traumatic experiences, helping clients process distressing memories and develop safer coping strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kay works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations. For many people, these options increase accessibility and consistency of care while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, effective support.
