About Randa

Randa Barnes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to guide people through difficult times. She combines practical tools with attentive listening to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She has 13 years of experience supporting adults with concerns such as depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief and trauma.

She also helps people facing parenting strain, attention differences and problems with sleep, eating or self-esteem. Sessions can be conducted in English or Arabic.

Background and approach

Randa draws on a mix of therapies to meet individual needs. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and to try small behavioural changes. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and focus.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at early patterns that affect present relationships. Her work pays attention to cultural background and family of origin issues, and she often addresses communication problems, control issues and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people with gender dysphoria concerns and those exploring identity and belonging.

Randa offers different session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that fits their schedule. She is registered with BACP, practises in the United Kingdom and welcomes enquiries from international clients who prefer English or Arabic.

Therapeutic approaches online: practical tools and relational work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use this to look at how trust and closeness affect feelings and behaviour, which can help with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.

Client-centred counselling puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions, which suits those wanting a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT-style work can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful habits by trying small, practical changes between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs. It is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use visual worksheets, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, and brief live chat or text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
