About Kaye Barney
Kaye Barney is a United Kingdom based therapist who supports people facing everyday stresses, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and bereavement, anxiety, and depression. She works with individuals dealing with relationship breakdowns, communication problems, changes in motivation and mood, and the ways these challenges can affect work, self-image, intimacy, and overall emotional wellbeing. Kaye helps clients explore patterns that drive their reactions - for example fear of change, avoidance of conflict, seeking reassurance, or turning to harmful coping strategies - and she offers a compassionate, practical space in which to understand and work through those patterns.
Her approach is tailored to each person, drawing on a variety of counselling techniques to help people make sense of their feelings and identify realistic steps toward greater stability and self-understanding. Kaye holds 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 also teaches counselling qualifications and provides clinical supervision for other counsellors.

She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers appointment options to discuss individual situations and possible next steps.

Working with Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online
Kaye integrates attachment-based work to explore how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of security, trust, and closeness - an approach that can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment fears, intimacy problems, or recurring relationship conflicts. She also uses client-centered therapy, which places the client’s experience at the heart of the process by offering empathic listening and validation to help people clarify their goals and build self-awareness and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, or stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kaye works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods or combination of methods will best support progress.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options allow for flexible scheduling, continuity of care when travel or mobility is a concern, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
