About Kay

Kay Cohen is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who want practical ways to manage anger, relationship tension, addiction problems, trauma and related stresses. Sessions are aimed at people who are ready to change how they respond to difficult moments and to reduce repeated patterns that cause regret.

Her approach combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred listening. That means conversations aim to clarify what you want to change and then explore how past and present relationships shape current reactions. She uses emotionally-focused methods to help people notice patterns in their responses and try different ways of relating to others.

Kay describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people untangle guilt, shame, and resentment so they can make clearer choices about behaviour. Practical work may include talking through triggers, practising calmer responses, and examining communication habits that lead to escalation.

The profile notes experience with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy issues, eating and process addictions, ADHD, and career stress. It also highlights secondary focuses such as forgiveness, infidelity, isolation, and self-esteem work.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s chosen clinical approaches. For details on formats and how sessions are scheduled, readers should confirm the current options before booking. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps to book an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How Kay’s approaches work in online sessions

Kay commonly draws on attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape the way someone reacts when provoked. It helps make sense of why certain people or situations trigger strong responses. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on feelings in the moment and how those feelings shape interactions, which can be useful for anger linked to relationships or intimacy issues.

She also uses client-centred principles, which mean sessions are led by the client’s priorities and pace. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level as therapy unfolds.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time so check-ins are easier to keep. If you need specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Overall, online sessions aim to make consistent practice and follow-up more manageable while using the therapist’s chosen approaches to address anger, relationship patterns and related concerns.
