Tahseen Rizvi is a BACP counsellor with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and relationship concerns. Tahseen speaks English and Urdu and works with clients from different cultural backgrounds.

Her sessions are warm and conversational. She aims to create an open space where clients can say what they are feeling without judgement. Tahseen listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships, and helps clients notice what gets in the way of change.

Background and approach

Tahseen draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build trust and safety. She also uses cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic tools when those approaches fit the situation. Practical, short-term goal work is available through solution-focused methods when clients want that direction.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including stress, parenting strains, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career issues. She also supports those working through abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, dissociation and multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered by video, phone, chat or text, which allows different ways to connect depending on comfort and schedule.

Tahseen works collaboratively to set goals and track progress so change feels manageable. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional reflection. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their timetable.

The subscription system used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at the ways relationships from the past affect how people connect now. It helps when patterns of trust, closeness or separation feel painful in current relationships. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and aims to provide empathetic listening and acceptance so people can find their own direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and sets clear steps to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted as therapy progresses, with practical exercises or reflective conversation used as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for shorter check-ins and text messages suit day-to-day reflection. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, fit sessions around work or caring duties, and choose the format that helps someone engage most effectively.
