About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with sleeping problems, anger, low self-esteem, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD and major life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches, along with attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods. In sessions she listens without judgment and focuses on what feels most important to the client in the moment. Conversations aim to help people name hard emotions and see patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) principles. She undertakes regular supervision and holds professional insurance. Her background combines academic training in integrative counselling with clinical experience in mental health settings.
Riffat can work with issues rooted in earlier experiences and support people who want to address trauma-related blocks. She also introduces practical skills such as mindfulness and simple grounding exercises to reduce stress. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on immediate concerns as well as longer-term change.
She has experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and aims to make therapy accessible to different communities. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and practical details.
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It can help when people feel stuck in repeating emotional cycles or struggle to put feelings into words.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they affect current behaviour and relationships. It helps people understand attachment needs and how to respond differently to others and themselves.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s own goals and timing. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and offers reflections that help clarify what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about session length and scheduling so arrangements match everyday commitments.
