Kaye Barney , BACP

Kaye Barney is a UK-based counsellor who supports people navigating relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She works with everyday conflicts and longer-term struggles that can affect mood, motivation, work performance and a person’s sense of self, helping clients identify what matters to them and find practical ways forward.

Kaye sees relationships as central to wellbeing - including the relationship with oneself as well as those with partners, family, friends and colleagues - and offers focused help when those connections feel strained. She supports people dealing with issues such as panic or anxiety, low self-image, difficulties communicating with a partner, the aftermath of betrayal or separation, patterns of avoidance or people-pleasing, substance or behavioural coping strategies, and changes brought on by bereavement or life transitions.

Her practice draws on a range of counselling techniques tailored to each person’s needs, with the aim of helping clients understand their feelings, explore solutions and work towards greater emotional stability and clearer choices. Kaye holds a degree in Psychology and 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 teaches counselling qualifications while providing clinical supervision to other counsellors.

Kaye is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, reflecting her commitment to professional standards. Prospective clients are welcome to book an appointment to discuss their situation and explore how she may be able to help.
