Riffat Jabeen, BACP

Riffat Jabeen is a United Kingdom based therapist with five years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family difficulties, grief and intimacy-related issues. Her practice also supports people managing sleep difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Riffat offers tailored care for additional concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, body image struggles, chronic illness and pain, dissociation, domestic violence, and the impacts of separation and divorce. She draws on several evidence-informed methods - including attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based approaches - adapting them to each person’s needs and goals. Sessions are available to international clients and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or in-app messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and circumstances.

Her work emphasizes collaboration and listening, helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills and reconnect with their preferences and strengths. Riffat aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where people can explore their experience at a pace that feels right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Riffat integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, attachment issues and repeated relationship difficulties by identifying and reshaping those patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, empathetic relationship where the therapist offers unconditional positive regard and reflective listening. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem and personal growth by allowing clients to set the pace and focus of sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management and sleep problems, offering practical strategies and skills to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Riffat works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and the challenges they bring, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - so clients can access support from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These formats make it possible to continue consistent care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
