Kay Cohen

Kay Cohen is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She supports people who are struggling with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, anxiety, depression and other life stresses. Kay aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect and works to create a tailored plan for each person.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversation. Kay listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people name what they are feeling. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and uses that understanding to change unhelpful cycles.

Her work draws on attachment-based approaches that look at how connections affect emotion, and on emotionally-focused methods that help people access and respond to feelings more usefully. She also uses client-centred ideas that put the person’s goals and experience at the heart of the work.

Kay has supported people through grief, intimacy concerns, eating and process addictions, bipolar and ADHD related difficulties, and challenges like career change and social anxiety. She also addresses issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, infidelity and isolation.

People who meet her can expect a steady, empathetic presence and practical steps to try between sessions. She invites each person to shape the pace and focus of therapy so it fits their life and aims.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people spot repeated patterns and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and responding to core emotions so that people can move from reactive patterns to more fitting responses; this can help with relationship hurt, anger and intimacy issues. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience and goals at the centre of the work, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can combine these methods and shift focus as progress is made or new concerns appear.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by removing commute time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce the time cost of attending appointments so people can keep therapy consistent alongside daily responsibilities.
