Kayra Dick , NCPS

Kayra Dick is a counsellor with six years' experience who works with adults and teenagers aged 16 and over. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them. Kayra welcomes whatever unique experiences a person brings and aims to help them feel heard and understood.

She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions can include straightforward coping strategies for immediate relief and a slower look at personal history to make sense of patterns. Practical tools and deeper self-understanding can be combined, depending on what a person wants.

Her background includes work in prisons, schools and within the NHS, as well as private practice. Those settings have given experience with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, addiction, trauma, attachment and self-esteem. Kayra also supports people coping with life changes, relationship difficulties and career concerns.

People bring many different struggles, such as eating or sleeping problems, anger, ADHD or gender dysphoria, and Kayra aims to address these alongside related themes like abandonment, codependency and body image. She keeps sessions practical and rooted in what the person wants to achieve.

The aim in therapy is clarity and a new way forward. Kayra works at the person’s pace and helps them build skills to manage stress and move towards lasting change. She invites honest conversation and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed in early years. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and try new ways of relating, which can ease anxiety around intimacy and abandonment. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on empathetic listening and acceptance; this is useful for building self-worth and exploring identity over video or messaging.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions collaboratively. That might mean using practical CBT-style tasks some weeks and reflective, relational work in others, depending on progress and need.

Online formats give flexibility and different ways to engage. Video calls let people read facial cues and have conversational sessions. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, writing things down between sessions, or fitting therapy around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt style and pace to make online therapy effective and manageable.
