About Ayan
Ayan Yahye is a counsellor who uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works in a calm, respectful way and aims to follow each person’s pace. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Ayan blends talking therapy with practical steps. Sessions focus on understanding what feels hard now and trying small, manageable changes. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and build routines that make day-to-day life steadier.
Background and approach
Her work often covers relationship and family issues, parenting strains, grief, trauma and addiction. She also supports people with sleep or eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and career concerns. Ayan takes multicultural concerns and LGBT matters into account when relevant.
She brings three years of professional experience to her practice and follows the BACP Code of Ethics and Conduct. That background shapes how she holds sessions and responds to each person’s needs. People can expect a patient, non-judgemental space to talk and try different coping skills.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, so goals are agreed together and reviewed as progress is made.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Ayan uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person’s own resources to find direction. This approach suits people who want a reflective space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in daily routines. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic and mood concerns and can include practical exercises between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions as progress is made. That collaborative process helps decide whether more reflective listening or structured tasks are best.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls provide face-to-face time for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter conversations or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to work around daily life and maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional.
