About Ayan
Ayan Yahye is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among the issues she helps people with. She also works with parenting, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and intimacy-related difficulties.
Her approach draws on client-centred work alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as listening so people can make sense of what they face. She talks through thought patterns, behaviour, and small changes that can reduce distress day to day.
Ayan pays attention to wider life factors that affect wellbeing, including work, culture and family roles. She helps people address sleep, eating, anger and self-esteem problems, and supports those dealing with panic or mood shifts. Her background includes responding to trauma, post-traumatic stress and issues around attachment and body image.
She works with concerns linked to career, caregiving stress, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame. Conversations often cover communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and restoring self-love after loss. The style blends listening with clear tools to practise between sessions.
People who choose her will find practical focus alongside time to reflect. Language offered is English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site matching process and then book a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Ayan combines client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques in chat that aims to be practical and straightforward. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs time to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it is often used for anxiety, panic and mood problems.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the blend of listening and skills work accordingly. That means sessions can shift over time as needs change and as practical steps are tried between meetings.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try tools such as thought records or behavioural experiments between sessions to build progress into everyday life.
