About Rabia

Rabia Waqar Khan is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges and related concerns. She works with issues such as depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu to suit different backgrounds.

She believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, listening approach to sessions. Rabia focuses on practical skills as well as emotional awareness, helping people try new ways of coping and responding to day-to-day pressures.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside client-centred listening and elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. That mix helps with unhelpful thoughts, overwhelming emotions and building values-led action.

Techniques are explained plainly and practised in real-life situations. Rabia has twelve years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is shown here as BACP. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.

International clients are welcome. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Subscription plans apply and can be cancelled at any time.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages action that fits personal values, which can be useful for parenting strain, anxiety and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and develop more helpful habits for everyday life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can support emotion regulation and help with stress and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rabia will explore your goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which combination of methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape session pace and techniques so they fit your life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video suits fuller conversations and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel commitments while keeping the focus on making progress.
