About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and questions about life direction and purpose.
She uses several therapy approaches and shifts them to suit what a person needs in the room. Sessions often focus on understanding how past attachments affect current relationships and on practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices to reduce worry and improve sleep.
Riffat trained in integrative counselling and follows the BACP professional guidelines. Her work is collaborative and paced to the individual. She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice what helps and what gets in the way.
In practice she pays attention to earlier experiences that can keep problems repeating now. That can mean looking at abandonment or attachment issues, patterns of control or avoidance, or the impact of trauma on daily coping. She offers techniques for grounding, breathing and simple cognitive strategies to reduce distress.
Riffat also supports people with career questions, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, grief, chronic illness, ADHD and bipolar mood challenges. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people relate now. Online sessions using this approach often focus on patterns in current relationships and on understanding emotions that feel stuck. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks worries and habits into practical steps. In remote sessions this can mean homework tasks, thought records and short behavioural experiments between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep, and these techniques can be practised during or between online meetings.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which approach or mix of approaches suits their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses and adjusted where needed, so the work remains collaborative.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also suit people who prefer using phone or video for face-to-face style conversation, and it lets therapists assign simple between-session practices to reinforce what was discussed.
