Kimberley Wheeler , BACP

Kimberley Wheeler (she/her) is a Humanistic counsellor who focuses on supporting people through grief, anxiety and major life transitions. She brings lived experience of working alongside cancer patients and their families at MacMillan and supporting people affected by suicide bereavement groups, giving her a grounded understanding of intense and complex emotional experiences.

Rooted in client-centered, humanistic principles, Kimberley emphasises the therapeutic relationship and listens attentively so each person can explore their feelings at their own pace. She has supported people coping with a cancer diagnosis and treatment, managing emotional distress and anxiety, navigating grief and bereavement, building self-esteem and self-acceptance, and exploring identity during periods of change.

Sessions with Kimberley are tailored to the individual - she treats clients as the experts in their own lives and aims to create a non-judgemental space where authenticity is welcomed and personal insight can emerge. While her work is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy, she also draws on techniques from other approaches when helpful to meet a client’s goals. Kimberley holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a compassionate, person-focused approach to her practice in the United Kingdom.

Client-Centered Care and Online Support

Kimberley works primarily with Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that prioritises empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and helping clients identify their own solutions. This style is well suited to issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and navigating identity or life transitions. She also practises in an integrative way when helpful, combining client-centered foundations with techniques from other methods to address specific challenges like coping with illness, trauma-related distress, or relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey - Kimberley collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Kimberley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, fit therapy around work or family commitments, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change, while focusing on the relationship and practical steps that support wellbeing.
