About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor who draws on eight years of practice to help people facing everyday problems. She works with issues such as relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She also supports people coping with grief, parenting stresses, and concerns around eating and sleeping.
Kaye is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kaye helps people notice how relationships shape their feelings and choices.
Background and approach
She looks at how connections with partners, parents, colleagues and the self can affect mood, motivation and confidence. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer so changes feel more achievable. Her work uses several approaches flexibly, including client-centred ways of listening, attachment-based ideas about how bonds form, psychodynamic thinking about past influences, and practical cognitive behavioural techniques.
The focus is practical - to understand problems and try different ways of responding to them. Kaye can support people dealing with loss, betrayal, or the aftermath of separation, as well as ongoing stress and anger that build up over time. She also offers help around career worries, body image and managing compassion fatigue or ADHD-related challenges.
People usually start by describing the issue that brought them in and what they hope to change. Kaye then agrees goals and works at a pace that suits the person. Her background in teaching and supervising other counsellors informs a reflective and careful style.

How Kaye's approaches translate to online therapy
Kaye commonly draws on client-centred work and attachment-based ideas when meeting people online. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and helping clients lead the conversation, which suits slower, reflective work about identity and self-worth. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds affect current feelings and behaviour.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try manageable experiments. CBT-style techniques can be useful for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and testing new ways of communicating. Together these approaches give both understanding and concrete steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needs become clearer. This collaborative way means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions offer practical benefits like fitting work or family schedules and avoiding travel. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around everyday life.
