About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people find steadier sleep and rest alongside broader mental health goals. She draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. Riffat follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of practice and brings five years of work as a practising counsellor in the United Kingdom.
Riffat trained with a degree in Integrative Counselling and is currently continuing postgraduate study in clinical psychology and counselling psychology. These studies inform how she blends different methods in session rather than following a single fixed model. She aims to listen without judgement and to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.
Sessions focus on understanding patterns that affect sleep, mood and relationships. She helps people connect present struggles to earlier life experiences when that seems useful. Practical techniques such as mindfulness and breathing exercises are offered to help with stress and grounding.
Riffat works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, body image and identity matters, and issues that affect family dynamics and separation.
Her practice aims to be inclusive of diverse backgrounds and sexualities. Sessions are conducted in English. For booking, follow the Start Therapy process and choose a schedule that fits the client’s needs.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Attachment-based work helps people notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect sleep and distress. It looks at how early bonds shape current responses and can be useful for easing anxiety about closeness and safety.Client-centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship and on what matters to the person in the room. This approach supports people who need a steady space to talk through worries and life changes at their own pace.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It can include routines and techniques that support better sleep, reduce worry and manage mood day to day.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted to focus more on skills, relationship patterns or emotional processing as required.
For online therapy arrangements, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work across locations and support people who prefer remote sessions while exploring sleep, stress and relationship concerns.
