Riffat Jabeen

Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor who brings a collaborative, person-focused approach to sessions. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, guidance and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Her practice emphasises listening and helping clients move at a pace that feels right.

With five years of practice, she blends several therapeutic ideas to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural ideas help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness is used as a practical tool for grounding and stress relief.

Riffat works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and anger. She also supports people facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem problems, sleep difficulties and the challenges of life changes. She is familiar with complex presentations such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her practice pays attention to cultural background and life experience. She follows BACP ethical standards and takes regular supervision as part of professional upkeep. The aim in sessions is to reduce overwhelm, rebuild a sense of control and develop simple coping steps.

People who meet her can expect practical techniques alongside space to talk. Sessions are shaped by the client's goals and preferences, with simple strategies offered for managing difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand repeating difficulties. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice attachment reactions and practise new ways of connecting and regulating emotions.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening and following the client's pace. In remote sessions this means the counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person set the topics and goals for each meeting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques if something feels unhelpful. That collaboration helps build trust and keeps the work practical and focused.

Confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life because it removes travel and allows meetings from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions outside standard hours in some cases, and easier access for people living far from registered or accredited professionals. Discuss practical needs when you book so sessions match daily life and technical resources.
