Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Mehbuba Khalid offers online work that draws on client-centered and attachment-based approaches to help people explore relational patterns and build self-understanding. In a client-centered frame she aims to follow each person’s concerns and goals while attachment-based ideas can help map how early relationships influence current interactions and emotional responses.
For people affected by traumatic memories or strong bodily reactions, she integrates EMDR and somatic therapy techniques. EMDR is referenced as an approach she uses for working with distressing memories, while somatic therapy attends to physical sensations and the body’s role in processing experience. Narrative Therapy is also part of her toolkit for exploring life stories and the meanings people make.
She works collaboratively, inviting clients to shape the focus and pace of sessions. Remote contact is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing different ways to connect depending on preference and needs.
