About Afshan
Afshan Butt is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience and works with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes.
She uses a client-centred approach. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Afshan listens for the issues people bring, then helps them talk through those problems at a pace they can manage.
People contact her about a wide range of concerns. These include blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration worries, isolation and loneliness, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress, prejudice and discrimination, sexual assault and abuse, and women's issues.
Her way of working is straightforward. She offers space to speak, reflects back what she hears and helps people think about next steps. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to name and to explore practical coping as well as feelings.
Afshan practises in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are carried out in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the booking steps provided on the site.
Client-centred counselling and remote sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects back what she hears and follows the client's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through emotions, family conflicts or life changes rather than follow a set technique.Working out which way of working suits a person is part of the process. Afshan will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and agree a plan together. The first sessions are often used to check how the approach feels and whether any adjustments are needed.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The site describes how to start the matching process and schedule a first session. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, and can reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing when that helps someone keep going with therapy.
