Riffat Jabeen

Riffat Jabeen is a BACP counsellor who uses an integrative, client-centred approach. She aims to make therapy welcoming and non-judgemental so people can talk about their feelings at a pace that feels right for them. Riffat focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the impact of trauma, and she works with people facing life changes and complex emotional problems.

Riffat draws on several psychological approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She helps people connect current difficulties to earlier experiences when that is useful, and she offers strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings. Mindfulness and meditation are suggested as tools to manage stress and to find steadiness in difficult moments.

Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - guidelines, and she undertakes regular supervision. Riffat describes her work as collaborative, listening carefully and concentrating on what matters to the client in the moment. She also notes experience working with diverse communities and aims to make therapy accessible across backgrounds.

Riffat has five years of experience in therapeutic roles. She supports people dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, chronic illness, and difficulties with anger or sleep. Her approach is practical and grounded in day-to-day coping skills.

People considering therapy are invited to move at their own pace and to try different techniques as needed. Riffat focuses on helping people untangle difficult feelings, build self-worth and regain a clearer sense of direction in their lives.
