About Ayan

Ayan Yahye is a counsellor who focuses on client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. She uses simple, practical ways to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship strains. Ayan writes in plain terms and aims to make therapy approachable for people who are nervous about starting work on difficult issues.

She draws on client-centred principles to build a warm, non-judgemental relationship. That means sessions centre on the person's pace and priorities, and the counsellor listens closely to what matters to them.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to shift them. Ayan has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She supports people facing issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting pressures and life changes.

She also works with concerns around eating, sleeping, anger, self-esteem and identity, including LGBT issues. Her approach aims to be flexible. Sessions can focus on practical coping skills, exploring patterns in relationships, or building self-compassion and purpose.

She pays attention to cultural background and the wider context that affects how someone copes. People can choose different session formats to suit their routine and needs. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, after which sessions proceed at the person’s pace and goal.

How Ayan’s approaches work online

A client-centred approach focuses on listening and supporting each person at their own pace. Sessions aim to follow what matters most to the individual, building trust and helping them notice their own strengths and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses clear steps and small experiments to test new ways of coping, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life to decide what to try first. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls can mirror a face-to-face conversation and work well for deeper discussions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send thoughts between meetings or use therapy without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
