About Kaye
Kaye Barney is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She draws on her background in psychology and counselling to help people untangle painful patterns and make practical changes. Kaye also offers support for grief, loss and the everyday stresses that overwhelm energy and motivation.
She describes relationships as central to how people feel about themselves. Kaye helps people look at how they relate to partners, family, friends and colleagues, and how those connections shape mood, confidence and behaviour. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on simple steps to feel steadier day to day.
Kaye adapts her approach to each person. Sessions can include talking through early relationship experiences, looking at unhelpful thinking, and working on practical ways to improve communication and boundaries. She aims to build clarity about feelings and to identify small, achievable goals.
Her training includes a degree in Psychology, a degree in Counselling, a diploma in Relationship Counselling and a Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis. Kaye also works as a clinical supervisor and teaches counselling skills to trainees.
Kaye is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including with international clients.

How Kaye's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who feel anxious about closeness, fear abandonment, or repeat difficult relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering a non-judgemental space to be heard and to build self-understanding, which can ease shame and low self-esteem.Kaye will work collaboratively to find the best way forward. She discusses goals, listens to what matters most, and adjusts her approach as the relationship develops. Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy process rather than a fixed choice up front.
