About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people with everyday problems and emotional struggles. She supports those dealing with anxiety and depression, relationship worries, low self-esteem, grief and the stress of life changes. Kaye is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English to national and international clients.
Kaye sees relationships as central to how people feel about themselves. She helps clients understand how interactions with partners, family, friends and colleagues can shape mood, confidence and motivation.
Background and approach
Her work also looks at the relationship a person has with themselves and how that impacts choices and behaviour. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches matched to each person’s needs. She encourages open conversation about feelings and hopes, and she helps people identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
The aim is to reduce distress and build more stable day to day coping. Kaye trained in psychology and counselling and holds both degrees. She also has a diploma in relationship counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis.
She teaches counselling courses and provides clinical supervision to other counsellors. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Kaye welcomes practical conversations about goals and next steps, and she supports clients who want to make changes in relationships, mood, or life direction.
Online approaches that focus on relationships and day to day coping
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand patterns that make them anxious, clingy or avoidant in close relationships and how to try gentler ways of relating.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for building self-esteem and making decisions about life and relationships.
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it teaches clear steps to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels right, test different ways of working, and adjust the plan as goals and needs become clearer. Clients and the counsellor decide together which methods to keep and which to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls enable face to face conversation when that helps, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer typing or want to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and travel.
