Kay Cohen, NCPS

Counsellor Kay Cohen is a member of the NCPS with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of other issues such as anxiety, depression and grief. Sessions are conducted in English.

Kay uses a few well established approaches to guide conversations. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. She works in a Client-Centred way, keeping the focus on the person in front of her. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Imago Relationship Therapy inform her work with intimacy and relationship difficulties.

In the room she aims to listen and reflect. She will talk through what matters to the client and look at small practical changes alongside deeper emotional work. Discussions may cover communication, boundaries, handling guilt or shame, and coping strategies for stress and addiction.

Kay has worked across varied presenting issues for ten years. That experience informs how she shapes sessions and what she offers as next steps. She encourages plain talk about problems such as isolation, process addictions, and social anxiety.

Before a first session clients are usually asked about what they want to get from counselling and about any immediate concerns. This helps Kay and the client decide on a way forward and on the pace of work.
