About Kayra

Kayra Dick is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults and people aged 16 and over on issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, addiction, trauma, attachment difficulties, and life transitions. Her practice also covers concerns around parenting, relationships, eating and sleeping, and sexual and gender matters.

Kayra mixes practical coping strategies with deeper reflection on personal history. In sessions she offers straightforward tools for managing stress and anxiety alongside slower exploration of patterns rooted in attachment or past hurt. This can help someone who needs short-term relief as well as people who want to understand why they repeat certain behaviours.

Her background includes work in prisons, schools and within the NHS, and she brings that experience into private practice. That range means she is used to supporting people facing a variety of pressures, from workplace strain to more complex trauma and addiction concerns.

Therapy draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally-focused techniques. Jungian perspectives also feature when exploring meaning and identity.

Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented when needed, with space for longer personal reflection when that fits. Kayra welcomes people dealing with parenting strain, relationship conflict, or the emotional fallout of change and loss. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching process to schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in how people relate to others. It focuses on recognising attachment responses and trying different ways of connecting. This can help with relationship strain, parenting tensions and long-standing fears about rejection.

Client-centred methods keep the client's perspective central. Sessions are led by what the person brings and aim to increase self-understanding and agency. Cognitive behavioural therapy introduces practical exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage cravings.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Kayra will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you want to focus on, then recommend approaches that match those aims. This is a collaborative way to choose techniques that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as none are specified in the biography. Online sessions can help fit therapy around work, family routines or short breaks in the day, and may allow shorter check-ins or quieter conversations when longer in-person appointments are hard to arrange.
