About Kay

Kay Cohen welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next step. She aims to make the first contact simple and direct, and to help people untangle practical problems and painful feelings. Kay explains things in everyday language and focuses on what will help most in day-to-day life.

She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and grief. Other areas she supports include anxiety, depression, parenting stresses, bipolar challenges, eating and process addictions, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Kay also helps with communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and finding life purpose.

Her approach is collaborative. Kay shapes conversations and plans around each person’s needs and goals. Sessions centre on understanding patterns, rebuilding close connections, and finding clearer ways to cope when life gets hard.

Kay has ten years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS. She uses her experience to offer steady support while people try new ways of handling difficult situations. She aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in every session.

People who choose Kay can expect practical suggestions alongside space to reflect. She encourages small, realistic steps that fit into everyday life. If you want a counsellor who listens and helps with concrete change, Kay may be a good match.

Approaches that guide online work and fit

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on repairing connection and easing anxiety around closeness, which can be useful for relationship strain and intimacy issues.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on identifying core emotions and reshaping how people respond to each other in close relationships. It often helps when communication has broken down or when partners struggle to feel safe together.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kay will discuss goals and preferences and work with each person to choose what feels most helpful. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the approach can be adjusted to match changing needs.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from a quieter space or use a phone call if video is difficult. Talk with Kay about what will fit your routine and needs so sessions can be arranged in a way that works for you.
