Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on steps clients can try between meetings.

How narrative and practical therapies work online
Kimberley draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach examines how past events and labels shape current choices, and it helps people rewrite unhelpful narratives into more useful ones. It can be useful for relationship challenges, identity questions, and making sense of trauma.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that increase distress. CBT offers clear exercises and small experiments to try between sessions, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central goals; these skills teach practical strategies for managing strong feelings and communicating needs.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, the problems you want to solve, and how you prefer to work. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for a full session where face-to-face interaction helps the work. Phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter check-ups, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
