About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach to support people facing stress and anxiety. She combines practical techniques with listening to understand what matters most. Riffat works from principles set out by the BACP and draws on five years of practice in the United Kingdom.
Her sessions focus on the whole person rather than a single label. She helps people untangle overwhelming feelings, cope with life changes, and manage symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Background and approach
Riffat often introduces mindfulness and grounding exercises to reduce stress in daily life. Riffat tailors her work to each individual. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships influence current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural methods are applied to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behaviour. She places emphasis on collaboration and pace, so therapy moves at a speed that feels right for the client. Riffat also concentrates on self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief and trauma, and the practical effects these have on day-to-day functioning.
Her practice is informed by ongoing study and a variety of clinical approaches. People who want clear, straightforward techniques alongside reflective conversation often choose to work with her. Riffat offers sessions in English and accepts international clients for online work.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Riffat uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeating relationship problems are causing distress. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Riffat will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone calls can be easier when internet speed is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have support in writing and to fit contact around work or busy days. These options give flexibility to find what works best for practical schedules and communication styles.
