Kayra Dick, NCPS

Kayra Dick offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can bring whatever is on their mind. She introduces practical coping tools alongside opportunities to look more deeply at life history, helping people manage day-to-day pressures while exploring longer-term change. Kayra works with adults and teenagers aged 16 and over, and welcomes varied life experiences and concerns.

Kayra has six years of experience and holds NCPS accreditation. Her background includes work in prisons, schools and within the NHS, alongside private practice. That range has given her exposure to many different situations and ways of supporting people.

Her approach is integrative. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to make space for the person's perspective, and cognitive behavioural techniques to build practical skills for anxiety or unhelpful thoughts.

Sessions tend to combine short-term strategies with slower exploration when that feels useful. People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle questioning and collaborative goal-setting. Kayra aims to help people feel heard, clearer about their choices, and more able to cope with stress and change.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and attachment issues, eating and sleep difficulties, relationship and intimacy problems, ADHD and career-related worries. Kayra also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, body image, codependency and separation.

If someone prefers practical techniques over reflection, or vice versa, Kayra adjusts her style to fit. The focus is on what will help the individual make steady progress and regain a sense of direction.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated problems in close relationships or feel stuck by fear of abandonment or avoidance. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace, providing a space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood. This approach suits people seeking acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and for building concrete coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and current problems, and then recommend methods that match those needs. That plan can change as therapy progresses so techniques and focus stay relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are good for full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and day-to-day coaching between longer talks. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and try different formats until the best fit is found.
