About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues such as ADHD and grief. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding what feels most pressing for the person in front of her.
She works from a mix of client-centred, attachment-based and cognitive behavioural ideas. That means she spends time listening, then helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. She also uses mindfulness exercises and emotionally focused techniques when those suit a person’s needs.
Riffat draws on her degree in integrative counselling and ongoing postgraduate studies in clinical and counselling psychology. Her practice follows BACP guidance and she meets with clinical supervision as recommended. That background informs how she thinks about long-term difficulties and crisis support.
In sessions she aims for clear, direct conversation and simple tools people can try between meetings. She may help someone map out triggers, practise grounding or reframe unhelpful thoughts. The focus is on what makes everyday life harder and what practical steps can ease it.
She has experience working with a wide range of life circumstances and cultural backgrounds. People who prefer straightforward, paced work that combines talking with skills practice may find this approach helpful.
How Riffat uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Riffat often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT tends to involve clear steps, short exercises and practical ways to test different responses to stressful situations.She also uses client-centred methods, which focus on listening and helping the person lead the pace of sessions. That approach supports people who find social situations or discussing painful memories difficult to start with.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and reviewed as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid the need to travel to appointments, which some people find helps them maintain regular contact with a therapist.
