About Layla
BACP counsellor, 6 years' experience. Layla Kareem works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to family or career. She also supports issues such as self-esteem, sleep problems, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Sessions are delivered through text-based therapy as stated in her profile.
Layla follows person-centred and psychoanalytic-influenced ways of working, and draws on existential ideas and mindfulness themes in session. She listens for patterns in relationships and attachment, and helps clients notice how thoughts and feelings shape everyday choices. Practical thinking from cognitive behavioural ideas is sometimes used alongside deeper reflection on meaning and identity.
People can expect a collaborative, conversational approach. Layla encourages clear goals and regular check-ins about progress. Conversations aim to identify coping steps, workable routines and ways to respond differently in difficult moments.
Her practice emphasises understanding personal history and current patterns together. That can include looking at family of origin issues, attachment struggles, abandonment themes, or how past trauma affects daily life. She also addresses practical problems such as eating and sleep difficulties or substance use concerns.
Layla works in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and services run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches shape online text-based work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In practice this looks at recurring interaction styles and helps people try different ways of relating that reduce conflict and distance. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, reflection and the client's own priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and supports their capacity to make choices and set goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down upsetting thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps. It helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep by teaching small, practical techniques for thinking and routine changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Layla will discuss your goals, preferences and how you respond to different methods, and then agree a path together. That conversation guides whether sessions lean more towards reflection, practical skills or a mix of both. Text sessions are the format indicated in her profile. If you want a different format, please confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter regular check-ins, and remove the need to travel for appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the style and pacing of sessions to suit someone's daily routine and immediate needs.Sheet 3
