About me
I believe that therapy doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, the best method is the one that works best for you. Whether you're facing a current challenge or simply seeking support, I'm here to listen and offer guidance.
- Are you feeling anxious?
- Are you feeling depressed?
- Struggling with trauma or PTSD?
- Experiencing loneliness or low self-esteem?
- Facing family, relationship, or sexual issues?
- Feeling sad, overwhelmed, angry, or just not like yourself?
Hello, I'm Kimberley, a counselling psychotherapist passionate about supporting people on their unique life journeys. My goal as a therapist is to provide the support that many have struggled to find elsewhere, focusing on those who often feel overlooked or unheard.
Who I Help
I work with a wide range of individuals, including members of the GSRD (Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diverse) communities, survivors of domestic violence, and uniformed personnel and their families. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, long-term health issues, work stress, relationship problems, identity concerns, or difficult life events, I’m here to help. My approach is caring and non-judgemental, creating a confidential space for you to explore and heal. Together, we’ll manage symptoms, build resilience, and help you regain control over your life. Remember, mental health is as important as physical health, and seeking help is a strong and positive step.
How I Work:
Therapy should be accessible to everyone, and I am committed to inclusivity and mutual respect. It’s not about labels; it’s about understanding your unique story and how it shapes you. Whether we meet via telephone, video, or online messaging, my goal is to provide a supportive and empowering experience.
Life can present overwhelming challenges, but no matter what you’re facing, I am here to listen, support, and help. We’ll navigate your story together, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and self-understanding.
My Experience:
As an experienced therapist, I offer remote support to clients worldwide. I believe everyone should have access to therapy and provide various financial options and methods to participate.
What sets me apart from other therapists is my deep commitment to inclusivity, authenticity, and personalised care. My extensive experience with diverse communities ensures that I understand and respect the unique challenges faced by each individual.
In our work together, we’ll aim for deeper self-understanding, effective coping mechanisms, and personal growth, leading to a more fulfilling life. Your voice and beliefs are valued and heard as we create positive change in your life. By fostering a space of genuine acceptance and respect, I help clients to feel truly seen, heard, and valued.
If you're seeking a counsellor who is not only experienced and skilled but also deeply committed to your well-being, I invite you to take the first step today by emailing me at, kimberley@sapphiretherapy.co.uk for your free, no obligation, 15 minute initial consultation. If you include in your message a contact number and a good time for me to call, together, we can navigate your journey towards healing and personal growth. It’s an honour to be part of your journey towards your own "happily ever after".

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Uniformed Services
supporting the uniformed services community, including serving and ex-serving members of the military, fire service, police force, and ambulance services, as well as their families and loved ones. I understand that a life in uniform presents unique challenges, that can have a profound impact on both the individual serving and those around them.
Diabetes Mental Wellbeing
Living with diabetes can be challenging, as it requires constant attention. As a type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic myself, I understand firsthand how diabetes can affect mental health throughout one's life. Unfortunately, there are limited resources available to those affected by this condition.
Both type 1 (no insulin production) and type 2 (limited insulin production) diabetes can be life-changing for those diagnosed, as well as for their families and carers. The initial diagnosis can bring about a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, grief, denial, anxiety, depression, and fear. These feelings may resurface over time.
I strongly believe that managing one's mental health is just as important as managing one's physical health when living with diabetes. Whether you've just been diagnosed or have been living with diabetes for a while, I am here to support you and your mental wellbeing throughout your journey. I know firsthand how long-term health conditions can take a toll on our mental health, and I am committed to helping you navigate any challenges that may arise in this regard.

My Values and Therapeutic Style:
My therapeutic style is integrative and humanistic, rooted in the belief that every individual possesses the strength to shape their narrative. Drawing inspiration from fairy tales, I see each client's journey as that of a downtrodden protagonist seeking their own happy ever after. While I don't claim to have a magical wand, I empower my clients to create their own happiness and break free from negative patterns holding them back.
These values are not just words to me; they reflect my approach to counselling and the principles I adhere to both professionally and personally. They are intrinsic to my practice and help to create an environment in which you can feel supported, and empowered to make changes in your life.
Authenticity dictates my commitment to genuine interactions. I strive to remain true to myself and my clients, ensuring our sessions are open and sincere. This authenticity fosters a space for you to be your true self without fear of judgement.
Empowerment is central to my counselling approach. It’s not just about equipping you with the understanding and tools to navigate your own emotions and life circumstances; it’s also about helping you find and use your voice. My role is to guide and support you in realising your own abilities and potential, thereby fostering self-confidence, resilience, and the power to express yourself.
Transparency is about ensuring that you are fully informed about all aspects of our counselling sessions. This includes the methods I use, the purpose behind them, and the progress we’re making. My commitment to transparency dispels any uncertainty or confusion.
Respect is the cornerstone of my practice. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and consideration. This respect extends to understanding and valuing your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and goals.
