Kaye Barney – Relationship Counsellor – BA (hons), MBACP

Relationship counselling can help if you are feeling like you're going round and round with a particular problem. It can also help if you're worried that friends and family are tired of hearing about it. Or if it's affecting your emotional, physical, or working life.

Talking to a professional can help you process your thoughts and feelings. It can stop you feeling stuck in a continuous loop of feelings such as resentment, anger, sadness, or rejection. Or even uncertainty, anxiety, abandonment, betrayal, neglect, or suspicion. Asking for help is the first, often difficult, step towards understanding and unpicking your experiences. Discussing these in a confidential environment, at your own pace with an empathic, non judgemental practitioner could help you find your way through your distress. You may be able to start to find solutions and new hope for the future.

I have over 30 years' experience in understanding human needs, motivations and behaviours. My experience has been gained through paid and voluntary work in charities and commercial organisations. I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have a degree in psychology, and BACP accredited counselling qualifications. I'm also a trained practitioner in IAPT Therapy for Depression.  I am fully insured and I am committed to on-going professional development. I practice ethically and safely, and stay up to date with current legislation etc.

I work with adult individuals and couples, both as a Relate counsellor and with my own clients. Sessions are offered via online, phone, and socially-distanced outdoor face-to-face sessions in beautiful locations.
