About Iffat
Iffat Iqbal uses a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and low self-esteem. She offers kind, non-judgemental support and aims to hear what matters most to each person. Iffat wants conversations to feel practical and manageable, not overwhelming.
She has three years of experience working with people through life changes and emotional pain. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you identify steps you can try between meetings.
How Iffat works
Common themes she addresses include coping with change, rebuilding self-worth, and recovering after traumatic events. Iffat also helps people who struggle with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, money stress, and feelings of isolation. She supports exploration of guilt, shame, control issues, impulsivity, and communication problems.
Work may include looking at what matters to you and practising small behaviour changes that make life easier. People can expect a respectful, steady presence in sessions and a personalised plan that grows from their goals. Iffat explains ideas plainly and offers simple tools to manage difficult moments.
The aim is to build resilience and clearer ways of making choices that fit your values. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She works from the United Kingdom and is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

Online support options
How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said, and helps you find your own solutions. This way of working suits stress, anxiety, relationship issues and problems where feeling understood helps you move forward.Working online with a client-centred approach keeps the same focus on your priorities. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide what methods and pace feel right. Together you will explore goals and adapt how you meet them as sessions progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so you can choose what fits your life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or when you prefer audio only. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written processing, or days when typing feels easier than speaking.
These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to support steady progress and practical next steps.
