Kayan Houssein

Kayan Houssein is a counsellor who helps people manage anger, anxiety and stress. He works with depression, relationship and family concerns, and supports people coping with trauma, grief and addictions. Kayan aims to create a calm, curious space where clients can talk through what feels stuck and start to make small changes.

He trained with a BSc in Psychology and holds a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. He is a registered member of the BACP, and is completing an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy. He works in private practice and provides therapy across the United Kingdom.

Kayan uses an integrative-relational approach that treats therapy as a partnership. He listens for patterns that cause distress and helps clients try practical steps to shift those patterns. He pays attention to how difficult experiences affect both the body and mind.

In sessions he begins with openness and curiosity, treating the client as the expert in their life. He helps people examine identity, meaning, and control issues, and supports those facing bipolar, psychosis-related concerns or complex trauma through work he does with an organisation.

His work draws on several therapies so sessions can include talking about past relationships, looking at current thoughts and behaviours, and exploring deeper themes about values and purpose. The focus is on clear, doable steps and better understanding of what drives angry or overwhelmed reactions.

How Kayan's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy views emotional needs and patterns in relationships, helping people understand how early bonds affect present moods and reactions. This can be useful for anger that links to feeling rejected or abandoned. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on a therapist offering empathy and acceptance to help someone find their own answers.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and for managing impulsive responses like anger.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Kayan will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together rather than imposing a single method. This collaborative process is used to adjust pace and focus over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins where needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or childcare. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective therapy remotely when the methods and timing suit the person.
