Kaye Barney, BACP

Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years' experience helping people through common life problems. She works with concerns such as relationships, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and grief. Kaye aims to make conversations straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier and more able to cope.

Her background includes 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 member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Kaye also teaches counselling courses and provides clinical supervision for other counsellors.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can mean looking at how early attachments affect current relationships, using client-led talking therapy to reflect what matters most to the individual, or drawing on practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

People come to her for a range of problems such as panic, low mood, problems with intimacy, sleep and eating difficulties, or major life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, and codependency concerns.

Kaye aims to help people understand their feelings and find doable steps forward. She invites prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short questionnaire to begin the matching and booking process.

How therapeutic approaches can work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and self-view. Online conversations can help uncover patterns of relating and reduce repeating hurts. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person, providing space to be heard and to explore choices without pressure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with the person to find which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and as new priorities emerge.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and reduce travel time. Others prefer formats that suit lower bandwidth or less on-camera time. Discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling step to identify what will work best for day-to-day life.
