About Randa
Randa Barnes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and ADHD. Randa also supports people facing parenting pressures, grief, addiction concerns and problems with sleep and eating.
Randa uses a mix of approaches to help people manage overwhelming feelings and practical problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She uses client-centred work to focus on what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes.
Her practice pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems and control or avoidance patterns. She also works with matters such as body image, gender dysphoria, abandonment worries and caregiver stress. Sessions aim to combine emotional understanding with clear steps people can try between meetings.
Randa supports clients from different cultural backgrounds and speaks English and Arabic. She often considers how cultural and family expectations shape a person's choices and distress. Her approach is practical and straightforward, with space to talk and to plan next steps.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns in your relationships and try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. In online meetings this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead while offering reflection and space to make sense of feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That way they choose whether to use attachment ideas, CBT techniques or mindfulness in sessions, and adjust the balance over time in collaboration with the client.
The original profile does not specify exact session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into study, work or busy days by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it easier to keep continuity when someone moves or is living abroad, while still focusing on practical steps and reflective conversation.
