About Kay
Kay Cohen offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She makes space for honest talk and helps clients explore what matters most to them. Her style is respectful and direct, with an emphasis on small steps that can lead to meaningful change.
With ten years of experience, Kay focuses on a wide range of concerns. These include addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anxiety and stress, eating concerns, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She also works with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, attention difficulties like ADHD, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive sexual behaviours. Kay uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, emotionally-focused therapy and client-centred practice. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients map patterns in their feelings and interactions.
That makes it easier to try different ways of responding to old problems. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. That might mean focusing on emotions, improving communication, or examining life purpose and values.
Many clients find that clear goals and small experiments between sessions help them track progress. Kay is listed with NCPS, which is shown as her professional credential. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

How Kay brings attachment and emotion work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance and try new ways of relating when old habits cause pain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and move through strong feelings so they can respond rather than react. It is often used for intimacy, grief and deep emotional wounds. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person’s own goals and pace, offering a non-judgemental space where people steer the conversation and the therapist follows their lead.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels doable now. Together they decide which focus to prioritise and adjust the approach as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing reflection, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or busy schedules and help maintain continuity between meetings.
