Sadia Khan, BACP

Sadia Khan is a Mental Health Counsellor and Psychotherapist who brings international experience to her practice. She is credentialed in the United Kingdom and Australia and is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the main UK professional body for counsellors. She also holds two master’s degrees and has worked with people across different countries and cultures.

Sadia has supported individuals facing stress and anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, helping them develop practical coping skills and deeper self-understanding. Originally from Bangladesh, she has lived in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Singapore and speaks English and Bengali fluently. She is currently based in the United Kingdom and provides therapy from there.

In sessions Sadia works collaboratively to build a supportive, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored. She encourages self-exploration and helps clients connect the threads of their experiences to foster clearer meaning and a stronger sense of self. She is willing to ask meaningful questions and engage in difficult conversations, and she will point out when someone may be limiting their own potential. Sadia values being part of people’s journeys and aims to support clients as they navigate change and challenge.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Sadia uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and active listening and can be helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships, or support during life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT is often useful for managing stress, reducing worry, and learning new coping skills.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help clients find internal motivation for change, especially when people feel stuck or ambivalent about taking the next step. This respectful, goal-focused approach supports readiness and commitment to change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Sadia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus live chat and text-based messaging options allow therapy to fit around work, family, and travel. For many people, these formats make regular contact easier and help sustain momentum between sessions while still working with a registered professional.
