About Farhan
Farhan Ghafoor is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Farhan focuses on practical ways to ease stress and anxiety and to improve day-to-day coping.
He creates a straightforward, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Sessions are offered in English and aim to let thoughts and feelings be shared honestly.
Background and approach
The first sessions usually explore what matters most right now and what small steps might help. Farhan uses a client-centred approach to listen and follow each person's pace. He also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, helping people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of responding.
These methods are used to address issues such as low mood, trouble sleeping, eating concerns, and addiction-related difficulties. He also supports people facing relationship and family strains, grief and bereavement, and trauma or abuse. Additional focus areas include attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, and challenges around divorce or separation.
Sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Farhan describes the work as collaborative - he helps people select manageable goals and practical strategies to make everyday life feel steadier.
How therapeutic approaches fit with online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor reflects feelings, asks gentle questions, and supports people to decide goals that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short practical exercises to try different ways of thinking and behaving; it can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful coping habits.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree on an approach together, adjusting methods to match goals and preferences. People often combine listening-based support with practical CBT tools so sessions feel both validating and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when sessions happen. Video calls let people use visual contact for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep up regular sessions around work, family or medical appointments while working through anxiety and related concerns.
