Kaye Barney , BACP

Kaye Barney is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns and life transitions. With eight years of professional experience, she works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges - from intimacy and family conflicts to eating, sleeping and parenting struggles. She also offers support for more complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue and codependency, as well as issues linked to adoption, attachment and abandonment.

Kaye adapts her approach to each person, blending methods such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to suit the needs of the client. Her training includes a degree in Psychology, a degree in Counselling, a diploma in Relationship Counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. She is an accredited Mother/Daughter relationship coach and a Therapy for Depression practitioner, and she combines this clinical background with practical coaching skills to help clients explore options and build new patterns.

Alongside direct practice, Kaye teaches counselling qualifications and provides clinical supervision to other counsellors. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Prospective clients are invited to book an appointment to discuss their situation and explore whether her style and expertise are a good fit.

Attachment-Informed and CBT Support Online

Kaye uses approaches that help clients understand patterns in relationships and manage day to day thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and expectations - it can be useful for people struggling with abandonment, commitment issues or repeated relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-judgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the conversation - this approach can help people build self-awareness, confidence and a stronger sense of identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, emotions and actions and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kaye discusses goals, preferences and life context with each person and tailors methods to suit individual needs, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy with Kaye offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and alternatives such as live chat or text-based messaging are available. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
