Online support options
Online approaches that fit your life
Ayan works mainly from a client-centred approach and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools to complement it. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and letting the person set the pace; it helps when someone needs space to understand feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Ayan will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan if something does not fit. The process is shared so the person keeps control over what they try and when.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer talks, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and travel while maintaining continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
