About Kayan

Kayan Houssein offers a calm, straightforward place for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. He presents as approachable and curious, and aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and make sense of difficult events. Kayan uses clear language and simple steps so conversations stay focused and useful.

He blends different ways of working so sessions suit the person in front of him rather than fitting a single method.

Background and approach

That means practical strategies like thought work sit alongside conversations about relationships and history. He also keeps trauma in view and pays attention to how difficult experiences affect feelings and the body. Kayan studied psychology and holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling.

He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has around four years of experience and is completing a Master of Arts in Integrative Psychotherapy. In practical terms he works online across the United Kingdom and offers a range of session formats to suit different needs.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with the person’s priorities guiding the work. The pace and focus can change as needs shift. People bring many concerns such as relationship difficulties, grief, addictions, trauma, ADHD and work stress.

Kayan aims to help people notice patterns, build coping skills and make manageable changes that fit their lives.

How Kayan’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and trust. In sessions this can mean looking at patterns in close relationships and gently testing new ways of relating to feel safer and more connected.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the person’s agenda to help them find their own solutions and clarity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kayan treats therapy as collaborative and will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, chat can suit quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping sessions consistent.
