Riffat Jabeen works from an integrative, person-centred approach that adapts to what each person needs. She brings five years of professional experience in the mental health sector. Riffat emphasises listening without judgement and helping people move at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to make sense of patterns that cause distress. She also uses emotionally-focused and mindfulness methods to help people manage intense feelings and build practical coping skills.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to connect present difficulties with earlier experiences when that is helpful. Riffat helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship strains, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem.

Other areas of focus include bipolar difficulties, ADHD, and life changes such as separation and divorce. Her additional interests include complex relational themes like abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and blended family concerns. She also works with people affected by chronic health problems, domestic violence and dissociation.

Riffat follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy guidelines and holds BACP accreditation. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is collaborative - the work is guided by what matters most to the person in the room and practical steps are offered as needed.

How attachment, CBT and mindfulness work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people see those patterns and try new ways of relating to others. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In an online session this often means setting small tasks between meetings and reviewing progress together. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and bring focus; these techniques translate well to phone or video sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adapted to what is actually helpful.

Online delivery offers flexibility and fits different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to maintain alongside work or family commitments.
