About Ayan

Ayan Yahye works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using a person-centred way of working. She uses a client-focused approach and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people manage practical problems and emotional distress. Ayan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years' experience in counselling.

Ayan sees counselling as a collaborative process. She encourages clients to speak about what is troubling them and to identify small changes they can try between sessions. Sessions often include talking through patterns of thought and behaviour and practising new ways of responding to difficult situations.

Her experience covers a wide range of common concerns. These include coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, mood difficulties such as depression, and anxiety including panic. She also works with issues around parenting, family conflict, intimacy and sexual wellbeing, and identity matters including LGBT concerns.

Ayan uses elements of Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the client's perspective and to build a collaborative relationship. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which offers straightforward techniques for managing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Additional areas Ayan addresses include attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. She also supports people facing career stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

If someone wishes to start, they are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a cancellable subscription model.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

A Client-Centred approach focuses on the client's perspective and aims to create a collaborative relationship where the client's views guide the work. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to make decisions about what to focus on in sessions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and for learning new coping skills that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the client’s needs, goals and preferences and agree which combination of methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed or to choose audio-only contact if that suits the client better. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking to ensure they fit into everyday life.
