Kaye BarneyBACP

Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years of clinical experience. She offers help for common life problems such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. Kaye also supports people facing grief, loss and bereavement, and those coping with major life changes.

Her work begins by listening to what matters to each person. She asks about relationships, daily routines and goals, and then suggests practical ways to move forward. Conversations are tailored to the individual, not a one-size-fits-all plan.

Kaye draws on different approaches to suit each situation. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques are included when people want tools to manage mood, anxiety or unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives to help people understand deeper feelings and long-standing patterns. These methods can be useful for issues like commitment worries, codependency, body image or recurrent relationship conflicts.

Kaye holds a degree in Psychology and a degree in Counselling, plus a diploma in Relationship Counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

People who choose Kaye tend to want clear, compassionate conversations with practical ideas they can try between sessions. If you want to explore whether she might be a fit, use the Start Therapy button to complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. It helps when patterns of pulling away or demanding reassurance keep repeating in relationships.

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping you find your own answers. It suits people who want someone to reflect back their experience and support them to make personal choices.

The therapist will treat finding the right approach as a joint process. She will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. If something isn’t helping, adaptations are made so the work fits you better.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when living abroad or moving between locations. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally aim to make sessions practical and relevant, helping you try new ways of handling relationships, mood and stress in everyday life.
