About Javeria

Javeria Khan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience in mental health. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Javeria speaks English, Hindi and Urdu and accepts international clients.

Her training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Foundation Degree in Arts and a BA (Hons) in Counselling. She also practises person-centred experiential counselling for depression (PCE-CfD) and brings psychodynamic ideas into her work. Those backgrounds shape how she listens and responds in sessions.

In practical terms she helps people name difficult emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on feelings, how they link to past experiences, and what people want to change now. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside person-centred methods to look at attachment and emotion-driven interaction.

Sessions often explore relationship themes, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, and coping after loss or upheaval. Javeria also supports people dealing with sleep and eating concerns, anger, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her work looks at both present problems and the stories people bring from their past.

People can expect direct, respectful dialogue and an emphasis on understanding what matters to them. She will work with each person to shape the pace and focus of therapy. To begin, clients follow the site steps to match and book an initial session.

How her approaches adapt to online work

Javeria draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at attachment and hard-to-name emotions, helping people trace how feelings shape relationships and behaviour. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on what the client wants, offering listening and reflection that helps clarify priorities and next steps.

These methods complement each other: EFT can spotlight emotional patterns, while person-centred work supports the client to set the pace. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and practical needs, and together they will agree what to try first and how to review progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to fit around work, childcare and travel. They also allow for shorter appointments when a quick review is helpful, and for choosing audio-only if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt interventions to remote sessions, helping people continue consistent therapy without restructuring daily life.
