About Randa
Randa Barnes is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach combined with practical methods. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people feel steadier and sleep better when rest is a concern. Randa aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where clients can talk through what matters most to them.
Randa blends cognitive behavioural ideas with mindfulness and attachment-based thinking. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping strategies, and trying small changes that make everyday life easier. She often connects current struggles to past relationships and family experience to uncover recurring dynamics.
She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family tensions, eating and body image concerns, and issues around identity including LGBT and gender dysphoria. Sleeping and rest difficulties are part of the concerns she addresses alongside mood and stress problems. Practical coaching tools are used when clients want clear steps to follow between sessions.
Randa is fluent in English and Arabic and brings cultural awareness into conversations. Her work includes support for those navigating ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and coping with life changes. She aims to meet people where they are and adapt pace and focus to each person’s needs.
Her practice in the United Kingdom relies on collaborative planning so clients and counsellor set goals together. To start, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Randa’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work helps people see how early relationships shape current patterns and expectations. This approach can help when sleep, trust, or relationship patterns get in the way of rest and emotional balance.Client-centred practice focuses on listening and responding to what the person says, so the pace and topics come from the client. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple practical experiments to try between sessions for issues like anxiety or sleep disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. If you are based outside the UK, international arrangements can be discussed when booking. Session options are not listed here, so confirm the current formats offered before arranging appointments. Online conversations can support work on sleep routines, stress management, relationship concerns and short coaching tasks that help with everyday coping.
