About Rabia
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience, Rabia Waqar Khan helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, career questions, self-esteem and ADHD-related challenges. She works with clients who are also struggling with compassion fatigue and offers coaching-oriented support when useful.
Rabia uses several evidence-informed approaches in session. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. She also uses Client-Centred methods to focus on each person's perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical skills to change thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness exercises and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) appear when they suit a client's needs.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Rabia listens to the person’s current problem, identifies one or two small goals, and works through straightforward strategies and exercises between sessions. She frames work around day-to-day life so ideas can be practised outside the therapy hour.
Her approach is collaborative. Rabia asks questions, reflects what she hears, and checks in regularly about what helps. She adapts methods from ACT, CBT, DBT and mindfulness to fit a person's pace and priorities.
Rabia can hold conversations in English, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting caught up in them and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties that recur over time.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor reflects what they hear and follows the client's pace, which can help people feel understood and clarify what they want to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rabia treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, DBT or mindfulness across sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help them practise skills in daily life more directly, while the therapist supports that practical application.
