About Afshan
Afshan Butt is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression and coping with life changes. She says she creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Afshan works in straightforward, person-centred ways. Sessions aim to make space for people to talk and to reflect on what matters to them. She listens for patterns linked to family dynamics, communication problems and control issues, and helps people consider practical steps they might try between sessions.
She has supported people dealing with trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault and abuse, and with the emotional impact of immigration, prejudice and discrimination. Afshan also addresses dissociation, guilt and shame, isolation and post-traumatic stress. Where relevant, she discusses issues specific to women and blended family arrangements.
The approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the person’s experience and aims to help them arrive at their own solutions. Afshan pays attention to how people cope with change and loss, and how family relationships affect wellbeing. She works with people who want clearer communication and less conflict in their family lives.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a person selects the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.

How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens and reflects what the person says, helping them explore feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, stress and family-related concerns by creating a space to consider options and next steps.The therapist also uses practical conversation around family patterns, communication problems and coping with life changes. That means sessions may include reviewing recent interactions, practising clearer ways of speaking, and setting small tasks to try between meetings. For people with trauma-related issues, the focus is on pacing conversations and noticing how memories and reactions affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to agree what to focus on and which methods to try, adjusting if something does not fit. This is a joint process based on needs, goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is useful, or simpler phone-only meetings when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical options, and the therapist will discuss what suits the person when arranging the first meeting.
