About Rabia
Rabia Waqar Khan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and family pressures, career questions, self-esteem, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu. Rabia works with each person to identify clear goals and practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her approach combines straightforward conversation with structured strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to look at values, acceptance and personal strengths.
Rabia often introduces small experiments and everyday exercises clients can use. These might include tracking thoughts, trying short mindfulness practices or testing a new communication skill. The emphasis is on simple practices that fit into daily life rather than long theory sessions.
She describes sessions as collaborative and goal-focused. People can expect clear steps, gentle challenging of stuck patterns, and check-ins on progress from one session to the next. Outcomes are discussed openly and adjusted as needed.
Rabia accepts international clients and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before their first appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location. Please confirm current session formats before booking.
How Rabia uses structured approaches in online sessions
Rabia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test practical changes to how they respond. CBT sessions focus on clear steps, short experiments and tracking progress over time, which can be easy to do between meetings.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Client-Centred Therapy appears in her work as a way to foreground the person’s perspective and priorities, letting conversation guide which skills to try next.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rabia works with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, preferences and daily routines. She reviews what helps and adjusts plans collaboratively rather than sticking to a single method.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the provided biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her after the matching questionnaire about how to schedule sessions so they fit around work, parenting or other commitments.
