You can also use mtext to place the axis label separately:

barplot(rev(modelledprofile),horiz=TRUE,xlim=c(0,1),col="cornflowerblue",names.arg=rev(depthnames),las=1)
mtext("depth", side = 2, line = 3)

The line option sets the distance from the axis - higher numbers will
give you more space. See ?mtext for details.
