About Hajran

Hajran Khan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, family difficulties, low self-esteem, career challenges and problems with motivation. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and addiction-related concerns.

Her approach emphasises the person's own strengths and perspectives. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at feelings and relationship patterns, and blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and trying small changes to daily responses.

In practice she helps people talk through what is happening now and how old experiences might still affect them. Conversations are paced to the person’s readiness, and practical steps are offered when they are useful. She also addresses issues such as sleep, eating, intimacy-related concerns and coping with major life changes.

She has worked across settings for many years and brings that experience into sessions to help people make sense of recurring problems. For people exploring attachment or abandonment questions, she uses attachment-based ideas to trace how early relationships shape current feelings and choices.

Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts clients from outside the UK. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats directly through the site's booking pathway.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and patterns in how people respond emotionally. It is often used when feelings are hard to name or when relationship patterns feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then commit to small, value-based actions that move life forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns to understand how they affect current reactions and connections with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try approaches together. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as the work unfolds.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue support while living in another country, provided you check any relevant local rules. Registered or accredited professionals regularly use these methods in remote sessions to make therapy more practical for busy lives.
