About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years' experience helping people with everyday problems and relationship difficulties. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and stress. Kaye also supports people worried about eating, sleeping, or coping with major life changes, and those facing intimacy or career concerns. She is a BACP member and offers a calm, straightforward space to talk things through.
Kaye believes relationships shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. She helps people untangle patterns of behaviour that affect mood, confidence and motivation. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, spotting unhelpful cycles, and testing small changes that build steadier routines and more positive interactions.
Her way of working adapts to the person in front of her. Conversations are guided by what the client wants to change, using a mix of short-term practical ideas and deeper reflection on past experiences. Kaye aims to make sessions feel manageable and focused so progress can carry into everyday life.
She brings training in psychology and counselling alongside a diploma in relationship counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. Kaye also coaches on mother-daughter relationships and runs clinical supervision for trainee counsellors and practising clinicians.
People come to Kaye for help after bereavement, separation, or when long-standing patterns leave them stuck. Adoption and foster care concerns are listed among her focus areas. Her approach is patient and non-judgemental, and she works with each person to find practical steps forward.
How these approaches can work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. It looks at how connection and trust affect how someone responds to stress, and it can help with feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship anxiety.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and for people wanting a supportive space to make sense of their feelings.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kaye will discuss options with each person and adjust the focus as goals and needs become clearer. That way the work stays relevant and practical rather than being fixed to one method.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy lives and saving travel time. It can make it easier to attend follow-ups or brief check-ins during a lunch break or between commitments.
