Riffat Jabeen, BACP

Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and issues such as codependency and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Riffat practises using approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness. In conversation she helps people look at how earlier relationships affect current reactions and patterns. She uses practical skills like mindfulness and simple CBT strategies to manage worry, sleep problems and overwhelming emotions.

Her practice follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) guidelines, and she works with people from diverse backgrounds. Riffat listens without judgement and focuses on what matters most to the individual at that time. The emphasis is on pacing work to the client's needs and preferences.

Sessions often cover concrete goals such as setting boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, coping with another person's drinking or moods, and building clearer self-worth. She also offers support for compassion fatigue and career stress. Work can include reflecting on attachment patterns, learning grounding exercises, and trying out new ways of relating.

People can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises and moments to reflect. Riffat draws on her experience to help clients untangle recurring patterns and make adjustments they can use in day-to-day life.
