About Kaye Barney
Kaye Barney is a United Kingdom-based therapist with eight years of professional experience supporting people through everyday challenges and complex emotional experiences. She works with a wide range of issues including relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and the stresses that come with major life transitions. Kaye places relationships at the centre of her work - relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and the relationship each person has with themselves - because difficulties in these areas can affect confidence, motivation, mood, emotional stability, sexual wellbeing, and overall sense of identity.
Kaye helps people who are struggling with negative self-image, panic or anxiety that limits day-to-day life, difficulty communicating with a partner, or uncertainty about lifestyle and career choices. She also supports those experiencing loneliness, feeling unsupported, persistent rumination about relationships, low energy or lack of interest in life, and patterns of coping that may include substance use, disordered eating, or self-harm. Her work covers responses to betrayal, separation, divorce, bereavement, abandonment, and the ongoing effects of misunderstandings, criticism, or conflict. Kaye also addresses issues such as anger management, people-pleasing, codependency, attachment concerns, and the demands placed on caregivers.
Her approach draws on a mix of therapies tailored to each person - including attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, and psychodynamic perspectives - to help clients explore feelings, understand patterns, and develop practical ways to increase stability and wellbeing. Kaye holds university degrees in Psychology and 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. In addition to practising therapy, she teaches counselling qualifications and provides clinical supervision to other counsellors.
Kaye is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and offers appointments by phone, video call, live chat, or in-app messaging. Prospective clients are invited to book an appointment to discuss their situation and explore how she might help.
