About Randa

Randa Barnes is a counsellor with 13 years of experience who draws on several practical approaches to help people manage life’s pressures. She uses straightforward, person-centred work to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She speaks English and Arabic, and works with people from different cultural backgrounds.

Randa focuses on what is happening now and how past experiences shape current struggles. She helps people notice patterns in relationships, attachment and family dynamics.

Background and approach

That understanding is used to build simple, realistic coping steps that fit day-to-day life. Sessions mix conversational listening with practical tools such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioural techniques. She aims to make therapy feel calm and direct, with clear ideas to try between meetings.

People bring issues like grief, addiction, low self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, anger, or life transitions for this kind of approach. Her work also covers concerns around parenting, family problems, communication difficulties, gender dysphoria, and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood changes. Randa pays attention to how identity and culture shape someone’s experience and choices.

Appointments can include longer conversations or shorter check-ins, and methods are adjusted to what the person needs. She guides people toward manageable change and clearer thinking, without jargon or complicated routines. Randa welcomes conversations about goals and practical next steps, helping people plan how to move forward at a pace that suits them.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Randa commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and helps people build different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing simple actions to change mood and behaviour.

She also uses client-centred listening to make space for each person’s priorities and to shape practical steps around their goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist will discuss options and adjust the plan according to what the person needs and prefers.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls allow a fuller conversation while phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits people who prefer short check-ins, written reflection or staying off camera. These formats make it easier to work around work, travel or family life while keeping the focus on useful techniques and steady progress.
