How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Ayaz draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core ways to work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps with trust and connection issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions and improving coping in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Ayaz will discuss goals and preferences and recommend what to try first. He adapts the approach as people make progress or as needs change, so the therapy stays relevant and collaborative.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use techniques and exercises between sessions more easily, while keeping focus on practical steps and emotional regulation.
