Background and approach
Work can focus on mood issues such as depression, low self-esteem, panic attacks and sleep or eating difficulties. There is also attention to relationship and intimacy-related problems, communication difficulties and challenges around caregiving and compassion fatigue. Ayan draws on client-centred therapy to listen deeply and respond to each person’s pace and priorities.
She uses cognitive behavioural techniques when practical tools are helpful for changing thoughts and behaviours. Sessions mix talking, practical exercises and reflections tailored to what the person needs right now. Her background includes three years of practice supporting people with multicultural concerns, LGBT matters, attachment issues and ADHD-related struggles.
She works with clients on career worries, life purpose and feelings of isolation or guilt. Ayan aims to help people notice small steps forward and build on them. People can expect a collaborative relationship that values their experience and choices.
Ayan encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to measure progress. She supports people who want coaching-style work as well as those who want emotional processing and exploration.

How Ayan's approaches work online
Ayan uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. This approach involves attentive listening, reflecting what matters to the client and helping them find their own solutions. It suits people who want a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and life decisions.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes. CBT is useful for tackling anxiety, panic attacks, sleep and eating problems, and low mood by giving practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as work progresses. Clients often blend talking with practical exercises so the work matches their pace and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let conversations feel more like face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and goals.
