Aiyman's Approach to Therapy

Aiyman works collaboratively with adults who want to better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges, and make meaningful changes. His approach is grounded in genuine curiosity about people, their experiences, and the patterns that shape how they think, feel, and respond to the world. Sessions are conversational, thoughtful, and collaborative, balancing self-exploration with practical strategies. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred therapy, Aiyman adapts his approach to your needs, whether that means exploring difficult emotions, challenging unhelpful patterns, or finding new ways forward.

Aiyman's Specialties

Aiyman supports adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, low self-esteem, addiction and substance use, relationships, burnout, and major life transitions. He has a particular interest in working with people who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or caught between others' expectations and their own values. His work explores self-discovery, people-pleasing, perfectionism, motivation, meaning, and personal growth. He also has a growing professional interest in psychological assessment and its role in helping people better understand themselves.

A Note From Aiyman

I've always been curious about people, why we do what we do, and what shapes who we become. I believe most people are doing the best they can, and that therapy should feel like a genuine conversation: a space to think out loud and figure things out together.

Common Questions

You do not need to be in crisis. Many people come in feeling stuck or sensing something is off, even when life looks fine from the outside. Curiosity is enough to start.
Mostly a conversation. A chance to share what brought you in, what you are hoping for, and what kind of support would feel most helpful. No pressure to have it figured out before you arrive.
Both offer the same quality of care. Virtual therapy can be easier for flexibility, while in-person therapy may feel better if you prefer being in the room together.
It depends on what you are working through. Some people benefit from a few focused sessions. Others prefer longer-term support. There is no fixed timeline. It is shaped around your goals.
Completely normal. A free consultation is available if you'd like to ask a few questions first, but it is optional. You are also welcome to take more time before booking an appointment.
Sessions with a Registered Provisional Psychologist may be eligible for reimbursement through extended health benefits, depending on your insurance provider and plan. We can provide receipts for you to submit to your insurer, and we recommend confirming your coverage with them first. Direct billing isn't available yet, but we're working toward offering it.
