Kayan Houssein is an integrative counsellor based in London who also offers online sessions across the United Kingdom. He works in private practice and supports people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, work-related issues, questions about meaning and identity, and the effects of trauma.
Alongside his private practice, Kayan provides therapy through an organisation that supports people experiencing psychosis, schizophrenia, and bipolar.
He holds a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Psychology and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling, is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and is currently completing an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy.
His practice follows an integrative-relational style, viewing therapy as a collaborative process in which healing happens within the relationship between therapist and client. He works in a trauma-informed way, attentive to how traumatic experiences can affect both body and mind.
Kayan approaches therapy with openness and curiosity, treating each person as the expert on their own experience while offering guidance to explore that experience and unlock potential.
He draws on a wide range of psychotherapeutic approaches and takes inspiration from diverse sources, including science, philosophy, religion, spirituality, eastern thought and Buddhism, shamanism, and magic. His perspective on healing is holistic and includes attention to the body.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and it is usually possible to switch to a different therapist if a different fit is desired. For many common issues, online therapy provides a practical and effective path to ongoing support.
