About Halima
Counsellor Halima Butt is a BACP member with three years of professional experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes and related issues.
Halima uses straightforward talking therapy to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. She listens, reflects and helps clients notice patterns that affect mood and behaviour. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection about relationships and feelings.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work. That means attention to how past and current relationships shape feelings, while keeping the client’s goals central to each session. Halima also uses elements of cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to help manage anxious thoughts and find calmer responses.
She has supported people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger and depression. Additional areas she notes include communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, gender dysphoria, self-harm, sexual assault and young adult issues. She also offers coaching-style support for life purpose and motivation.
Halima offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions that use this approach help people notice patterns in attachment and practice different ways of relating to others. Client-centred work focuses on the client’s own goals and pace. The counsellor listens and reflects rather than directs, and clients decide what to explore. Cognitive behavioural elements are practical and look at patterns of thought and action that keep problems going, such as worry or unhelpful habits. Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps best. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow seeing a therapist from another location when that suits the client’s circumstances.Areas of expertise
