About Riffat
Counsellor Riffat Jabeen is a BACP member with five years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and related concerns. Riffat also lists help for relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, anger, self‑esteem, career questions and ADHD among her areas of focus.
Riffat trained in integrative counselling and draws on several approaches to suit each person. She uses attachment‑based ideas to look at early relationships and how they affect current patterns. She also uses client‑centred methods to keep conversations focused on the client's priorities and cognitive behavioural techniques for practical thinking and behaviour changes.
Her practice aims to be inclusive of different backgrounds and experiences. She notes experience working with people who identify as LGBT and with those facing domestic violence, separation, chronic illness and other complex life events. Sessions include discussion, practical tools and mindfulness exercises when helpful.

How her therapy approaches work in remote sessions
Riffat uses attachment‑based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when people notice repeated relationship problems, anxiety about closeness, or difficulty trusting others.She also draws on client‑centred counselling which focuses on the client's priorities and experience. That means sessions are led by what feels most important to the person and the counsellor listens without pushing an agenda.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used for practical change in thinking and behaviour. These techniques suit issues such as anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and stress when a person wants clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Riffat will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on relationships, practical skills or mindfulness exercises.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make fitting counselling into everyday life easier by reducing travel and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also suit shorter check‑ins or guided exercises when that fits better with someone’s schedule.
