About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen offers a counselling approach rooted in integration and empathy. She draws on five years of clinical experience and a BACP registration to help people untangle stress, anxiety, trauma and other concerns. Riffat aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and work at a pace that feels right for them.
Her practice brings together client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then tries out small changes that can make daily life easier.
How Riffat works
Mindfulness is often introduced as a simple tool for stress relief and grounding. Riffat also uses attachment-focused ideas to explore how early relationships shape current responses. This can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship worries, codependency, and attachment difficulties.
She frames these conversations so memories and feelings become useful information rather than barriers to change. The therapist supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, anger, sleeping problems, bipolar challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as body image, chronic illness and domestic violence in an individual setting.
Riffat works with LGBT concerns and helps people process separation, divorce and blended family strain. Sessions may use a mix of short-term practical work and longer-term reflection depending on need. Riffat follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - guidance in her practice and encourages collaboration on goals and techniques.

Online support options
How attachment, CBT and mindfulness work online
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship patterns; it is useful for intimacy issues and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - CBT - focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small, practical changes to improve mood and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and provide grounding in moments of overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences during early sessions and then work together to decide which methods to try. This is collaborative and may involve combining approaches as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written communication or want to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care or travel commitments and help people keep momentum between meetings.
