Javeria Khan, BACP

Javeria Khan is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience in the mental health field. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and life changes, using a respectful and compassionate approach.

Javeria draws on a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Foundation Degree (FDA) and a BA (Hons) in Counselling, plus additional person-centred experiential training for depression. She describes her work as person-centred with psychodynamic understanding, and also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In sessions she aims to listen carefully and respond to each person’s unique situation.

Her style is calm and direct. She works to create a space where people can name what is difficult and try new ways of managing it. Conversations are tailored to individual needs rather than following a fixed script.

Javeria pays attention to how social, cultural and spiritual pressures shape everyday life. She helps people think through relationship problems, parenting worries, career stress and struggles with identity or self-esteem. Practical strategies are offered alongside opportunities to reflect on deeper patterns.

Many clients come wanting help with coping skills, clearer communication and rebuilding trust in themselves. Javeria encourages small, manageable steps and supports people as they test new approaches between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, offering empathy and acceptance so people can explore what matters to them. It helps with low mood, self‑esteem and major life decisions. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy helps map and shift patterns in close relationships by identifying feelings and the ways people react to each other, which can be useful for intimacy and attachment concerns. Narrative Therapy supports people in separating themselves from their problems by reshaping the stories they tell about their lives, which can help with identity issues and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as sessions progress. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.

Please confirm available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days and remove travel time. They can also allow shorter check‑ins when a full session is not possible, or offer an option for people who prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can often tailor session length and frequency to match work, family and other commitments.
