Kay Cohen, NCPS

Kay Cohen helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She welcomes adults who want practical ways to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, addictions and big life changes. Conversations aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what matters most to the client.

Kay draws on ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works from a person-centred stance that respects each person's pace. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs so people leave with clearer next steps and tools they can try between appointments.

Her approach includes attachment-based work that looks at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used when couples or partners want to understand cycles of conflict and create safer emotional connection. Existential and client-centred ways of working help people explore life meaning and make choices that match their values.

Kay commonly supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviour, stress, eating concerns, bipolar mood issues and social anxiety. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career questions and struggles with shame or guilt.

Conversations are meant to be collaborative and respectful. Kay aims to empower people to act on the changes they want and to notice progress along the way.

How her approaches adapt to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at the patterns people form in close relationships and helps identify how early bonds affect present feelings and reactions. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, relationship conflict or intense emotional reactions.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help them find their own solutions. This approach supports people facing anxiety, depression, life changes or questions about meaning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas to use and revisit this as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find they can try tools and practice between sessions more readily when meetings are held remotely, and therapists can adapt exercises so they work well over distance.
