About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people with everyday struggles. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, grief and the stress of life changes. Kaye uses practical conversations to help clients make sense of their feelings and find clearer ways forward.
She believes relationships shape how people feel about themselves and the world. That includes relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues and the relationship someone has with themselves.
Background and approach
When those connections feel strained, it can knock confidence, affect mood and make everyday tasks harder. Kaye works with people who feel stuck by worry, panic, low mood, or who struggle with communication and intimacy. She also helps those coping with loss, separation, shame around eating or self-harm, and the tiredness that comes from caring for others.
Practical steps and clearer self-understanding are central to her approach. Her practice draws on several well-known counselling styles. Sessions aim to be a safe space to talk, reflect and try small changes that can build steadier routines and better relationships over time.
Kaye pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions, while also focusing on useful tools for the present. Kaye is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

Online support
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and making sense of your experience. The therapist follows the client's pace, offering support that helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions for confidence, grief or relationship problems.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It gives clear tools to reduce anxious thinking, lift low mood and rebuild routines that improve sleep, appetite and daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kaye will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That plan can mix elements from different approaches as needs change, with progress reviewed along the way.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat allows brief check-ins and messaging can be useful for short reflections between sessions. These options help people access support from wherever they are and around their commitments.
