About Ayaz
Ayaz Akhtar is a psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults and adolescents on common difficulties such as depression, anxiety, relationship friction, parenting concerns, and anger.
He supports people who have experienced emotional or physical trauma and those who have a personality disorder diagnosis. He also helps with sleep problems, low self-esteem, career stress, bipolar mood issues, and ADHD related struggles. He uses several therapeutic ideas to guide his work rather than a single method.
Sessions are collaborative and conversational. He adapts the way he speaks and the techniques he uses to suit what each person needs. Expect practical discussion alongside reflection about patterns that keep problems repeating.
Ayaz says he treats people with respect and without judgement. He aims to help clients reach clearer understanding and manageable change through steady work in sessions. He describes his role as a partner in that process rather than someone who tells clients what to do.
People who prefer a mix of talking, skills practice and attention to past relationships may find his style a good match. He accepts international clients and offers services in English. To begin, readers are asked to use the platform match steps and schedule a first session.
How Ayaz uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps when anger or trust problems trace back to patterns learned in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's viewpoint. It gives space for someone to talk through frustrations and feel acknowledged while they sort things out. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal behaviour. It is useful for managing intense reactions and impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each client and decides together which methods to try based on the person's goals and what feels useful. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy levels, for example a camera session when deeper conversation is wanted or a simpler call for a quick update.
