Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I help people with all kinds of day to day problems and conflicts including relationship and confidence/self-esteem issues, along with issues around grief, loss, bereavement, and with anxiety and depression.
Relationships are the glue that holds our lives together. Not only our relationships with partners, parents and other family members, friends, and colleagues, but also our relationship with ourself. When our relationships don’t feel right, it affects everything we do – our confidence, self-esteem, motivation and performance at work, mood, sense of who we are, emotional stability, libido, and even our view of the world.
Perhaps you’re feeling you need help with one of these situations…
• Suffering from a negative self-image, or worried that anxiety or panic attacks are holding you back from doing what you really want to do.
• Wanting to communicate better with your partner, or to improve your lifestyle or career choices; but scared of change, or don’t know where to start.
• Feeling stressed, unloved, lonely, or unsupported – as if nobody cares, or as if everyone’s against you.
• Continuously thinking about your relationship and trying to make it better.
• Feeling sad, depressed, lacking energy or motivation, or disinterested in life.
• Seeking solace from alcohol, gambling or excessive exercise; hiding an eating disorder or self-harming behaviour; or worried that you’re on a path of self-destruction.
• Trying to suppress feelings such as anger, for fear of where they might lead; or avoiding conflict, causing a build-up of resentment.
• Compelled to seek attention, love, reassurance, or answers from your partner, and feeling rejected when they don’t respond in the way you need them to.
• Feeling ‘invaded’ by others’ demands on your time, attention, and space; wanting to run away; or trying to please or care for others at the expense of your own needs.
• Impacted by the aftermath of an affair, betrayal, separation, divorce, bereavement, ongoing misunderstandings, bickering, arguments, criticism, or feelings of abandonment.
• Frightened about the future because a loved one has told you to ‘sort yourself out’

Kaye Barney works with people facing everyday problems and conflicts, specialising in relationship difficulties and issues with confidence and self-esteem, alongside grief, loss, bereavement, anxiety and depression. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support clients through these concerns.
She describes relationships as the glue that holds life together – not only connections with partners, parents, family, friends and colleagues, but also the relationship a person has with themself. When relationships feel strained, it can affect confidence, self-worth, motivation and performance at work, mood, sense of identity, emotional balance, libido and even a person’s view of the world.
People seek her support for a wide range of situations. Some struggle with a negative self-image or anxiety and panic that limit what they want to do. Others want to communicate better with a partner or improve lifestyle or career choices but feel afraid of change or unsure where to start. Many come because they feel stressed, unloved, lonely or unsupported, or because they find themselves preoccupied with improving a relationship. Others present with sadness, low energy, lack of motivation or a general disinterest in life, or they may be using alcohol, gambling or excessive exercise to cope, hiding an eating problem or self-harm, or worrying they are on a path of self-destruction.
She also works with people who find themselves suppressing anger to avoid conflict and accumulating resentment, seeking reassurance or attention from a partner and feeling rejected, feeling overwhelmed by others’ demands and neglecting their own needs, or coping with the aftermath of an affair, betrayal, separation, divorce, bereavement, ongoing misunderstandings, criticism or feelings of abandonment. Some clients arrive frightened about the future after a loved one has urged them to “sort yourself out” and are unsure how to move forward.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most people.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and if someone feels the fit is not right they can switch to another therapist at any time. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to get support for everyday mental health and relationship challenges.
