Therapeutic approaches and online care
Ayaz often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside skills-focused work from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with difficulties in close relationships, trust, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic, non-judgemental listening and places the client’s experience at the center of sessions to build insight and self-directed growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for regulating intense emotions, coping with crises, and reducing impulsive behaviours, which can be helpful for mood instability, self-harm, and strong emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Ayaz works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods and pacing so therapy aligns with each person’s circumstances and comfort.
Online therapy with Ayaz is available by video call, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live at a distance. Working remotely makes it easier to access registered professionals and therapists from different locations while maintaining continuity of care and regular support.
