Kay Cohen is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and everyday stresses. She uses plain language and a respectful manner to make conversations easier to begin.

Kay adapts sessions to each person’s situation. She listens first, then helps set goals and a simple plan to work towards them.

Background and approach

Conversations may look at how past attachments shape current trust and closeness, or how unhelpful patterns keep repeating in relationships. She also supports people dealing with mood problems such as depression and bipolar, and with concerns like anxiety, ADHD, eating issues or low self esteem.

Her way of working draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused methods to help people understand feelings and change painful interaction patterns. She also uses client-centred and existential approaches to explore meaning, values and choices in life. Imago Relationship Therapy informs her work with intimacy and communication problems.

Sessions can include practical tools for managing stress, skills for handling cravings or impulsive behaviours, and steps to rebuild trust after betrayal. She pays attention to shame, guilt, forgiveness and the struggle to find life purpose. Kay aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space for steady progress.

People who want flexible online options can choose video, phone, chat or text formats. Kay works collaboratively to match the pace and methods to each person’s goals and day-to-day needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions can help people spot old patterns and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting core emotions that drive reactive behaviours, which can be addressed through focused conversations and structured exercises online.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose methods together. That collaborative planning helps ensure the work fits the person's life and what they want to change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while using approaches that aim to change feelings, patterns and relationships.
