Javeria Khan, BACP

Javeria Khan is a UK-based counsellor with nine years of experience in the mental health field and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Foundation Degree (FDA), and a BA (Hons) in Counselling, and is trained as a PCE-CfD practitioner - person centred experiential counselling for depression. Her background combines academic training with extensive practical work supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and a wide range of other concerns such as grief, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping issues, and career matters.

Javeria uses a person-centred framework alongside psychodynamic understanding and emotion-focused techniques to tailor therapy to each person. She emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence as central to the therapeutic relationship, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual cultural, spiritual, and social contexts. Her practice also addresses attachment and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, bipolar management, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, as well as more specific areas like abandonment, codependency, blended family stress, and dissociation.

Approachable and respectful, Javeria supports clients in taking the first steps toward a more purposeful life, offering a compassionate space to explore patterns, process difficult experiences, and develop practical ways to move forward. She provides therapy in English, Hindi, and Urdu, and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Javeria works from a person-centred perspective, which places the client at the heart of the process and focuses on empathic understanding, acceptance, and supporting personal growth - this approach can help with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and general life stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is also part of her practice and helps clients identify, experience, and transform difficult emotions in the context of relationships and attachment concerns. Psychodynamic therapy contributes an exploration of patterns, early experiences, and unconscious themes that can influence current behaviour and emotional responses, which can be useful for longstanding relationship problems, recurrent emotional patterns, and identity issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Javeria approaches this collaboratively - she will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and tailor a plan that fits your needs rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Javeria is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, time zones, and communication styles. These formats allow clients to access registered professionals from home or while travelling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care, and offer practical ways to fit therapy into busy lives.
