About Halima

Halima Butt is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and anger. She speaks English and offers work to people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Her style is warm and respectful, aimed at helping clients feel understood and regain a sense of control.

Halima tailors conversations and plans to each person. She listens for what matters most to the individual and focuses on practical steps. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and feelings, increasing self-awareness, and building small habits that make daily life easier.

With three years of professional experience, she has supported people with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, and problems around addiction and eating. She also assists those dealing with compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and the challenges of life transitions. Communication problems, domestic violence, gender dysphoria, and recovery after sexual assault are among other areas she addresses.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas, together with mindfulness practices. This mix is used to help clients notice patterns, change unhelpful thinking, and rebuild emotional connection with themselves and others.

Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the site. Halima uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; session cost varies with location and availability.

How Halima’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. It can be useful for someone who notices repeated relationship problems or difficulty feeling safe expressing needs.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard without judgement. Sessions give space for clients to talk, be reflected back to, and gradually find their own solutions, which can suit people unsure where to start.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Halima will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals, needs and preferences. That could mean trying different ways of working and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy consistent across moves or travel. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for shorter check-ins, conversations that do not require being on camera, or fitting a session into a work break.
