About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years of experience helping people with everyday problems and emotional pain. She works with issues such as relationships, confidence and self-esteem, grief and bereavement, anxiety and depression. Kaye combines straightforward listening with practical discussion so people can start to make small changes that matter.
Her work often focuses on how relationships shape wellbeing - relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues and the self.
Background and approach
When those relationships feel off, other areas of life can follow - work, mood, motivation and even how someone sees themselves. Kaye helps people untangle those patterns and notice what they want to change. Sessions use a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person.
Kaye draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the centre. Cognitive behavioural tools are used when practical steps and thinking patterns are helpful.
Her background includes a degree in Psychology, a degree in Counselling, a diploma in Relationship Counselling, and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. Kaye is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
People come to Kaye for many concerns beyond relationships: sleep and eating issues, parenting strains, career worries, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and complex topics such as abandonment, adoption and attachment difficulties. She also supports those facing illness, caregiving stress and bereavement. Kaye offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.
She uses different online formats so people can choose what suits them and their life circumstances.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kaye will work together with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and situation. That collaborative choice can change over time as new priorities or challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer visual contact, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who want brief, written exchanges or who prefer not to use a camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping the focus on everyday struggles like depression, stress and relationship problems.
