About Ayan
Ayan Yahye is a counsellor who centres sessions on the client’s experience. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to build an empathic, non-judgemental relationship and supports people as they work through difficult moments. Her approach aims to respect each person’s pace and inner resources.
She frames therapy as a whole-person process that includes mental, physical, social and spiritual aspects. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what’s said, and helping people notice choices they may not have seen before. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, are offered when they suit the person’s goals and needs.
Across three years of practice she has helped people address stress, anxiety, mood concerns and depression. She also supports people with relationship stress, family and parenting worries, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Other areas she addresses include addictions, sleeping and eating concerns, ADHD and career-related stress.
Ayan pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes identity and coping. She works with issues such as attachment, body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. The aim is to help people build practical coping skills while also attending to emotions under the surface.
She is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step is used to match people to the right counsellor.
How Client-Centred Work and CBT Translate to Online Sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building an understanding, empathic relationship and following the client’s pace. In practice this looks like open listening, reflecting back what the person says, and helping them recognise their own strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides clear, practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can help with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. Work may blend warm, client-centred listening with targeted CBT techniques when useful for a client’s particular situation.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera if they prefer, or manage sessions during a lunch break or between commitments.
