Rabia Waqar Khan , BACP

Rabia Waqar Khan is a registered counselor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience supporting people through emotional challenges and life transitions. She works from a strengths-based perspective, helping clients identify their own resources and build practical skills to face stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting and family concerns, career questions, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and depression.

She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to recognised professional standards. Rabia believes that each person is the expert in their own story and that therapy is a collaborative process in which the client’s goals and values guide the work. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, respectful attitude so clients can develop resilience and confidence.

Rabia offers support in English, Punjabi, and Urdu, and she is accepting clients both in the United Kingdom and internationally. She provides flexible appointment options, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, to make it easier for people to access therapeutic support that fits their lives.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Rabia often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take practical steps toward those values. ACT combines acceptance strategies with committed action and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become limiting.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing alternative skills. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing specific problem areas by teaching practical strategies for coping.

Rabia works in a collaborative, client-centered way, listening to each person’s priorities and adjusting techniques to suit individual needs. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - she will explore options with clients and together determine what feels most helpful and achievable.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, making it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to work with people across distances and time zones while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship focused on the client’s goals.
