Randa Barnes

Randa Barnes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She brings 13 years of experience to sessions and speaks both English and Arabic. Randa aims to make conversations straightforward and useful so people can start feeling steadier sooner.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and grief, alongside relationship and family concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, addictions, sleeping and eating issues, ADHD and coping with life changes. Randa pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when these affect how someone relates to others.

In practice she blends client-centred talking with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. That means listening closely, spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in everyday life. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during transitions and loss.

Sessions aim to be practical and culturally aware. Randa uses examples and short exercises a person can try between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where people set goals and move at their own pace.

Randa works with people from different backgrounds and cultural traditions. Her BACP registration is listed as BACP. She accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and international clients, and the service operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Randa often mixes client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness work. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood so people can talk through issues at their own pace. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that can reduce stress and improve sleeping and eating routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That means deciding collaboratively whether to focus more on thought patterns, grounding and breathwork, or exploring attachment and relationship themes.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, such as arranging shorter check-ins around work or choosing audio-only time when less bandwidth is needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which can suit those balancing family or caregiving responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
