About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of experience. She works with relationship difficulties, self‑esteem, grief, anxiety and depression among other everyday life problems. Sessions are offered in English and Kaye accepts international clients from the United Kingdom base listed on her profile.
She describes relationships as central to how people feel and behave. That includes relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues and with oneself. When relationships feel off, Kaye says it often shows up as low mood, poor confidence, problems at work, sexual difficulties or ongoing worry about how others see you.
Kaye uses a mix of approaches such as attachment‑based work, client‑centred techniques, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. In practice she encourages people to talk openly about what is happening, to notice patterns, and to try small changes that make daily life easier.
Her background includes a degree in psychology, a degree in counselling, a diploma in relationship counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. She also holds an accreditation as a Mother/Daughter relationship coach and is a Therapy for Depression practitioner. She teaches counselling trainees and provides clinical supervision for other counsellors.
People often come for help with relationship breakdown, bereavement, low mood, anxiety, addiction behaviours, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, career concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Kaye aims to help clients understand their feelings, explore possible solutions and find steadier ways of coping.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Kaye commonly works from attachment‑based ideas and client‑centred practice. Attachment‑based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people react to stress and to others, and it can help with issues like trust, abandonment feelings and relationship patterns. Client‑centred practice focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own solutions and feel better understood.She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to change day to day habits. These approaches can be used together and adapted over time. Choosing the right mix is part of the work and she will discuss goals, preferences and options with each person in a collaborative way.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because they are not detailed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can allow a shorter check‑in when needed, reduce travel time, or avoid being on camera if someone prefers a phone conversation. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often use online sessions to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
