More about Riffat
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an Integrative counsellor with a holistic approach. I have over 10 years' experience of working within the mental health sector supporting individuals in crisis or needing long-term practical support. I am passionate about working with diverse client groups and making therapy accessible to clients from all backgrounds therefore, I also offer therapy in Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi.
I qualified as a counsellor with a degree in Integrative Counselling. I have since started master’s in clinical psychology and working towards Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. My qualifications and life experiences have contributed to the development of my practice and enabled me to understand a more holistic understanding of my clients’ journey.
I work ethically and my practice is guided by the principles set out by BACP. I am fully insured, and I undertake regular supervision as per BACP recommendations. I offer a sensitive and confidential approach to whatever seems to be the issue in the moment regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion and culture.
I endeavour to create a welcoming environment and to listen in a non-judgemental way to enable you to talk about your feelings and experiences. It is a collaborative process concentrating on what is important to you. Counselling goes at your pace and according to your needs.
I use a variety of approaches, tailored to suit your individual needs. I can help connect with earlier experiences to start to heal trauma and remove blocks which may be affecting you in the present. Much of my work involves empowering clients who struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth. Sometimes, life gets too much and can feel out of control or overwhelming, I can help you untangle the chaos and find your way again. I encourage clients to try techniques such as mindfulness and meditation as tools for stress relief and grounding.
I have extensive knowledge of working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
