Ayan Yahye

Ayan Yahye is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people tackle anger, stress and relationship strain. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside humanistic ideas to support change in day-to-day life. Ayan is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the person in the room. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try practical steps to shift mood and behaviour. Clients are invited to set the pace and to bring whatever matters to them into the work.

Over three years of practice have included supporting people with family tensions, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and issues with self-esteem and confidence. She also helps those dealing with addictions, sleeping and eating difficulties, and workplace stress. Cultural and multicultural concerns are part of the work she can attend to.

Ayan describes therapy as a collaborative process. She combines listening with concrete tools from CBT when that fits a person’s goals. This mix is intended to balance emotional understanding with actions people can use between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Her BACP membership is listed as part of how she works within an ethical framework. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Ayan blends client-centred work and CBT online

A client-centred approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people follow their own pace and goals. It aims to make space for feelings and personal wisdom rather than imposing solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anger, anxiety and mood-related issues.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then choose or combine approaches with the client. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel personally relevant and doable between meetings.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online therapy easier to fit around work and family life, and it can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. In practice, online work makes it possible to use CBT tools and client-centred conversations in ways that match day-to-day life and practical goals.
