Riffat Jabeen

Riffat Jabeen is an integrative counsellor who works with a holistic approach to mental health and wellbeing. She has five years of experience providing therapeutic support and draws on extensive background in the mental health sector to assist people in crisis or those needing longer-term practical help.

She is committed to making therapy accessible to clients from all backgrounds and offers sessions in Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi in addition to English. Riffat qualified with a degree in Integrative Counselling, has begun a master’s in clinical psychology and is working towards a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology. These academic qualifications and her life experience have shaped a broader understanding of the client journey and of clinical practice.

Her work is guided by the principles set out by the BACP. Riffat is fully insured and undertakes regular supervision in line with BACP recommendations. She provides a sensitive, confidential and non-judgemental space regardless of age, race, gender, sexuality, religion or culture, and aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can explore what matters to them at their own pace.

Riffat uses a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs. She can help connect present difficulties with earlier experiences to begin healing trauma and to remove blocks that affect current functioning. Much of her practice centres on empowering people who struggle with low self-esteem or self-worth. When life feels overwhelming or out of control she supports clients to untangle that chaos and find a clearer way forward, and she encourages practical techniques such as mindfulness and meditation as tools for stress relief and grounding.

She has extensive knowledge of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and aims to work collaboratively to focus on each person’s priorities and goals.
