Tahseen Rizvi

Tahseen Rizvi is a counsellor with four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Tahseen welcomes conversations about difficult issues and aims to make it easier for someone to take the first step towards change.

She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, self-esteem and anger. Tahseen also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and work-related stress. Her work includes attention to complex patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency and control issues.

Tahseen draws from several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centred listening to create space for people to be heard. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps and coping tools are helpful. Attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking help make sense of repeating relationship patterns.

In sessions she aims to be non-judgemental and to help clients talk through painful memories and present strains. Conversations can cover day-to-day coping as well as longer standing patterns that affect relationships and self-view. Tahseen encourages small, realistic changes that build over time.

Sessions are offered in English and Urdu and she accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, they can use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It can help people understand why they repeat certain patterns in relationships and work on building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience and pace. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said and follows the client's concerns rather than directing the conversation. This is useful when people need a calm space to talk through distressing feelings such as grief or anger.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps and simple exercises. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tahseen will discuss options with each person and together they will choose what feels most helpful given the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

For practicalities, please confirm current session formats before booking as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, reduce time spent commuting and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet with a therapist who speaks their language or has relevant experience without needing to travel long distances.
