Can I get through a ticket barrier if I didn’t put my ticket through at the start of the journey?

Yes, you will be able to get through the barrier at your destination.

It’s common for barriers to be open at certain times of day, in which case you don’t need to put your ticket through. Some stations don’t even have barriers at all!

Since you mention Southeastern, it’s worth being clear that this applies if you’re using a National Rail ticket, either on paper or a digital format, but rules are different if you’re using Oyster or Contactless Pay As You Go in/around London. In that case, you must always touch in and out so the system can determine how much to charge you; if you touch out without touching in you’ll be charged a maximum fare, usually £8.60.
