About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years' experience. She works with day-to-day problems including relationship concerns, self-esteem and confidence, grief and loss, anxiety and depression. She supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward.
Kaye explains that relationships shape how people feel about themselves and the world. Problems with partners, family, friends or colleagues can affect mood, motivation, work performance and intimate life. She helps people talk through those connections and what they mean for daily living.
People come to Kaye for many reasons: panic or anxiety that limits activities, trouble communicating with a partner, low energy or loss of interest, worries about eating or coping strategies, or the aftermath of separation and bereavement. She also works with issues such as anger, attachment difficulties, career uncertainty and stress from caregiving.
Her approach draws on a mix of counselling methods. Kaye aims to help clients understand feelings, identify solutions and build more stable routines. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside room to reflect on patterns that repeat in relationships and behaviour.
Kaye has a degree in Psychology, a degree in Counselling, a diploma in Relationship Counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. She also holds accreditation as a Mother/Daughter relationship coach and is a Therapy for Depression practitioner. In addition to client work, she teaches counselling trainees and provides clinical supervision for other counsellors.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based work looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand why they react strongly in certain situations and what those reactions mean for current relationships, including fears around abandonment and trust. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they can make sense of their own feelings. This approach supports people who want to explore self-esteem, confidence and how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often used for stress, panic or low mood and gives concrete skills to practise between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaye will discuss which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences and then try those approaches together as a team. She adapts the mix over time based on what helps most. Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions feel more manageable.Areas of expertise
