How her approaches shape online therapy

Ayan uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to introduce practical steps. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client's own pace, which helps when people need time to open up. CBT offers clear techniques for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful thinking patterns, making it useful for day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a shared process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means the work can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or making it simpler to check in during a lunch break. Practical benefits include being able to use written tools, homework exercises and structured CBT techniques between sessions.
