I’ve only recently started therapy with Kimberley, but the experience has already been amazing. She creates a comfortable and safe space for open communication and her ability to truly listen and understand is incredible. She has a gift for reading between the lines and connecting the dots, offering insights that help me see things from a new perspective. I feel both excited and optimistic about this journey and I’m genuinely happy to have her as my therapist. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Since having therapy sessions with Kimberley my mental health scores for anxiety and depression have remained consistent and very manageable. She has always come off of our calls with what we've talked about and considered solutions on that call or found ways to tackle the issues after the calls and sent me guides on techniques to help. I think I've now got most of my life under control and it's just looking into ways to improve my situation now rather than just putting out fires.

Kimberley has led me back to myself lately. She’s really helped me lay some foundational work within myself and I’ve never felt better equipped to manage things in my life. I couldn’t have got through these last few months without her.
