About Kayan
Kayan Houssein is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works online with people across the country. He helps with common problems such as anxiety, stress, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people facing career strain, identity questions and the emotional impact of trauma.
He trained in psychology, holding a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, and completed a Diploma in Integrative Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and is working towards an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
In sessions he adopts an integrative-relational style. That means he treats the relationship between counsellor and client as the central place for change. He listens with curiosity and helps people make sense of their experience rather than telling them what to do.
He is trauma-aware and pays attention to how difficult experiences affect both body and mind. He draws on a range of approaches to match what a person needs, including talking through patterns that keep people stuck and practical ways to try differently between sessions. Kayan's work draws on many influences, from psychology and philosophy to spiritual and cultural traditions.
This gives him a broad set of ways to help people find meaning, cope with grief or loss, and build steadier day-to-day routines.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kayan will discuss options and together with the person set goals and test what helps. He adapts methods to fit the individual's needs, preferences and the pace they want to take.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit quieter bandwidth or shorter check-ins, live chat can be easier when typing helps expression, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to continue work from different locations across the United Kingdom.
