About Layla
Layla Kareem is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She supports those coping with life changes, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Layla also assists with career concerns, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is conversational and flexible. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and how they want to feel. Layla offers text-based work and adapts to each person’s communication style.
Background and approach
With six years of experience she brings a mix of methods to sessions. She uses Jungian ideas to look at meaning and symbolism in life issues. Attachment-based thinking helps her trace how early relationship patterns affect present interactions.
Layla also uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques are available when practical steps and thinking patterns need attention. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on connection and closeness in relationships.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Layla invites people to describe their priorities and works at a pace that feels manageable. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled afterwards.

Online support
Using Jungian and Attachment ideas in online therapy
Jungian Therapy looks at personal stories, dreams and symbols to find meaning in difficult feelings. It can be helpful for people who want to understand recurring life themes or inner conflicts. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people change patterns that cause stress or disconnection. Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative way of working means the plan can change if something isn’t helping. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer audio only or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, reflective writing and for people who find typing easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
