About Hajran

Hajran Khan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, self‑esteem and confidence issues, career difficulties, and related life challenges.

She works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the room. Sessions focus on clarifying what is most important to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Hajran aims to keep conversations straightforward and grounded in everyday life.

Her work draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Those methods are used to help with mood, relationships and coping skills rather than as formal labels for a fixed programme.

Hajran has experience with issues such as trauma, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, bipolar and depression, and ADHD among other matters. She also lists additional focus areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiving stress.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and practical arrangements so they know how to proceed.

How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and try small, practical steps that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for finding direction after life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers structured ways to practise different responses between sessions. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options with the client and agree a plan based on their goals and what feels doable. This is a collaborative process and approaches may be combined or adjusted over time.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel and make it easier to keep short check‑in meetings. Others prefer longer appointments for deeper work. Check the current options so sessions can be planned to fit everyday life.
