About Kay

Kay Cohen is a counsellor registered as NCPS with 10 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of emotional concerns including anxiety, depression and issues around intimacy.

Kay focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She adapts how she talks and plans work to each person’s situation. Sessions are built around the client’s priorities and the problems they bring, such as managing compulsive behaviours, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or coping with loss.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods to look at patterns in relationships and connection. She also uses client-centred listening and existential thinking to help people find meaning and make choices when life feels uncertain. Imago relationship ideas inform how she addresses communication and intimacy problems.

Kay aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions. She describes the work as a collaborative process where the client’s perspective guides the pace and content of therapy. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both used depending on what a person needs.

People considering work with Kay are asked to be ready to talk about current concerns and personal history. The initial steps involve a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so the pair can decide on goals and a plan.

Sheet 2

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. Online sessions can be used to identify how those patterns play out now and practise new responses to conflict or withdrawal. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the feelings beneath relationship behaviours. In a session this means naming emotions, tracking interaction cycles, and trying different ways of responding to strengthen connection.

The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical concerns, then suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time so the work fits the person’s needs rather than forcing a single model.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into busy lives by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or offering alternatives to in-person meetings when travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises and reflective work to suit the online setting so progress can continue without changing the core therapeutic focus.
