About Halima
Halima Butt is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family tensions, low self-esteem, motivation problems and big life changes. Halima also supports those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating issues and depression.
Halima draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions that feel hard to talk about. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns influence current relationships. Her style is client-centred and practical, so conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Sessions typically involve listening and reflection, alongside practical tools from cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness approaches. People can expect to work on clearer communication, managing overwhelming feelings, and small behaviour changes that make daily life easier. Halima pays attention to relational patterns and how emotions show up in close ties.
She has experience supporting issues such as compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, and problems with drugs or alcohol. Halima also offers coaching-style input for life purpose and smoking or vaping cessation when that is helpful.
Sessions are conducted in English and Halima accepts international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they know what to expect.
How Halima uses EFT and related approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice, name and work with powerful emotions that drive relationship patterns. It is often used when feelings are hard to express or when patterns repeat in close connections. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape reactions today. This approach helps people understand how they expect others to respond and how that shapes current interactions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship. It helps people explore what matters to them at their own pace and set practical goals for change. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Halima will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean prioritising emotional exploration at one point and practical skills at another. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make attendance possible from different countries. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to the person’s circumstances and help keep progress moving between meetings.Areas of expertise
