About Hajran

Hajran Khan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. She works with people facing stress and anxiety and helps with family conflict, self-esteem, motivation and career concerns.

Hajran frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on strengths people already have and uses those strengths to tackle what feels hard. Early meetings are practical and straightforward, aimed at clarifying what a client wants to change and what is working well already.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to try small, testable changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to the person.

Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on close relationships and patterns that started in earlier life. Sessions often include reflection on how current relationships are shaped by past experiences and what can be done differently now. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Sessions are practical, conversational and focused on steps a person can use between meetings. Hajran encourages clients to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can act on what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small changes to reduce distress and improve functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and supports building different ways of relating in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a person's goals, preferences and the practical issues they bring to sessions. This often means trying a few techniques and checking what feels helpful before settling on a plan.

Session formats are not specified here, so check the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio depending on what works best, which can help with gradual exposure to social situations or practising communication skills in real time.
