About Halima

Halima Butt is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, low self-esteem, motivation problems and life changes. Halima also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, eating difficulties and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms.

She uses straightforward, conversational sessions where practical tools are explored. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her practice and is used to help notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred Methods to focus on what matters to each person.

Sessions aim to identify small, testable changes and build new habits. Halima works with each client to set concrete goals and to review progress over time. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques are available when they suit a particular concern, for example managing shame or strong emotions.

She offers a mix of coaching-style steps and therapeutic conversation depending on a person’s needs. The approach is practical and task-oriented, with room for talking things through and trying new ways of coping. People who want clear strategies to reduce anxiety, improve relationships or change a habit often find this style useful.

Halima conducts work in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, users should confirm current session formats and scheduling details via the platform questionnaire and booking flow.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Halima uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; CBT sessions often focus on setting small experiments and practical tasks between meetings. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current interactions, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-centred methods keep the conversation focused on what the client finds most important, with the counsellor reflecting and clarifying to support clearer goals.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Halima will discuss needs, goals and preferences, and will agree with the client which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and the tasks between meetings.

The platform’s session formats should be confirmed before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It can also help people keep momentum between sessions by using digital tools and scheduled tasks that fit into everyday life.
