Kaye Barney, BACP

Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people navigate relationship problems, grief and low self-esteem. She works with people facing anxiety, depression and life transitions. Kaye is based in the United Kingdom and is a BACP member, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials. Kaye focuses on how relationships shape daily life, including ties with partners, family, friends and the self. She encourages conversations about what matters most and helps clients recognise how relationship patterns affect mood, motivation and confidence. Sessions aim to build clearer communication and practical steps forward. She supports people dealing with loss, bereavement and the emotional aftermath of separation or betrayal. Kaye also helps those struggling with eating and sleeping issues, anger, addiction-related coping, and concerns that affect work and personal life. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic thinking. That means she pays attention to patterns from the past, how people feel in relationships, and practical ways to try different behaviours in daily life. Kaye has a degree in Psychology and a degree in Counselling, plus 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. She teaches counselling trainees and provides clinical supervision for other counsellors.

How Kaye’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this means talking about recurring patterns and trying new ways of connecting with others to reduce distress and improve relations. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard without judgement. Sessions give space to tell your story and make sense of what you want. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) combines that listening with practical steps and experiments to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Finding the right approach is something Kaye treats as a team effort. She will talk with you about your goals, lifestyle and preferences and suggest which ideas or methods to try first. If something doesn’t fit, she will adapt the plan so the work feels relevant and manageable. The original profile does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which session types are currently available before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around daily life, reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer conversations. Online options can also make attending from different locations simpler for international clients.
