Integrative approaches and online support for complex needs
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current emotional responses. It helps people explore attachment needs, build safer connections, and address issues such as abandonment or attachment-related anxiety in relationships.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the therapeutic work, offering empathic listening and non-judgmental support so clients can reflect, grow, and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, navigating identity questions, and working through life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical strategies to develop coping skills and adjust patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kayan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He combines elements from different approaches to tailor the work, staying responsive to what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy with Kayan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside major centres. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional who can adapt methods to an online setting.
