About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience. She works with common, everyday problems such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression and grief. Kaye also helps with issues that touch parenting, work and life changes, and concerns linked to eating, sleeping and anger.
She describes relationships as central to how people feel day to day. That includes relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues and the self. When those connections are strained, Kaye says it often affects mood, confidence, motivation and even sexual desire. She talks through how patterns in relationships and self-view contribute to current struggles.
Kaye uses a range of counselling approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. Sessions often focus on understanding feelings, spotting repeated patterns, and practising small changes that make daily life steadier. She also works with people facing bereavement and separation, or who are coping after betrayal and loss.
Her background includes degrees in Psychology and Counselling, a diploma in Relationship Counselling, and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. She is an accredited Mother/Daughter relationship coach and a Therapy for Depression practitioner. Kaye also teaches counselling courses and supervises other counsellors in their clinical work.
She accepts clients from outside the UK and offers support in English. To start, readers are invited to use the platform matching tool and book an initial session to talk about their current situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kaye uses Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural approaches in her practice and each has a different focus. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape present feelings and responses, which can help when intimacy, abandonment or repeated conflicts are a problem. Client-Centred work places the person’s own perspective and goals at the centre of sessions, helping people talk through what matters to them and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical ways to test changes and reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaye discusses different methods with each person and together they decide which style or mix of approaches fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration guides what is tried in early sessions and is reviewed as work moves on.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote sessions that suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth connections or daytime breaks, which helps people keep therapy practical alongside everyday responsibilities.
