Kaye Barney
Experienced counsellor for relationships and life change
About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years' experience who helps people facing everyday problems and relationship difficulties. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and practical life stresses that get in the way of daily living. Kaye uses a conversational, person-focused style to help people talk things through and find clearer ways forward.
Kaye believes relationships shape how we feel about ourselves. She pays attention to bonds with partners, family, friends, colleagues and the relationship a person has with themselves.
Background and approach
In sessions she explores how those connections affect mood, confidence, motivation and behaviour so people can make changes that feel manageable. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, from coping with bereavement and separation to managing anger, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career questions and ADHD-related challenges.
Kaye also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress and body image worries. She draws on approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix allows sessions to be conversational, reflective and practical depending on what someone needs that week.
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 member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kaye also teaches counselling trainees and supervises other counsellors.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online for people inside or outside the United Kingdom. To begin, a simple questionnaire matches people to a suitable session schedule.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions use this approach to help people understand attachment wounds and build gentler ways of relating to others and themselves.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. In an online setting this often means open, non-judgemental conversations that help someone clarify priorities and make choices about next steps.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to tackle anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. CBT tasks and check-ins adapt well to video, phone or messaging formats.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaye will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses, and sessions can mix methods to suit what is most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
