About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years' experience helping people with everyday problems and big life changes. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Kaye aims to create a space where clients can talk honestly about their feelings and begin to find clearer ways forward.
Her approach is practical and person-centred. Kaye listens first, then tailors techniques to suit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses ideas from attachment work and cognitive behavioural approaches alongside psychodynamic thinking to understand patterns and offer fresh ways of responding. Kaye often helps people who feel stuck by negative self-image, repeated relationship conflicts, or low mood that saps energy and motivation. She also supports those facing bereavement, separation, changes at work, or difficulties with sleep and eating.
Conversations cover both present problems and the history that shapes them. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps as well as deeper reflection. Kaye pays attention to how relationships with others and with the self affect daily life.
She aims to help clients recognise unhelpful cycles and build new habits that improve mood and confidence. Based in the United Kingdom, Kaye is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
International clients may use these online formats to work together from different locations.

How Kaye's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and self-view. It helps people who often feel rejected, overwhelmed by demands, or stuck in repeating patterns to understand why they react as they do and to try different ways of connecting.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which suits people who need a steady, non-directive space to make sense of feelings and choices.
Kaye also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then work on small changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. That approach is useful when clients want clear, practical tools to manage symptoms and test new behaviours.
Deciding which approaches to use is part of the work. Kaye will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that match the client's goals and preferences. The plan can change as therapy progresses to better fit emerging needs.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, or those who prefer writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
