About Farhan

Farhan Ghafoor is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach alongside practical cognitive behavioural tools. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, parenting and addiction. He also helps people dealing with eating or sleeping problems and low mood.

Farhan works in the United Kingdom and carries eight years of professional experience as a BACP counsellor. Farhan aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. He encourages people to speak about what matters to them and listens without judgement.

Background and approach

The first meetings usually focus on what a person hopes to change and what small steps might help. He blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful patterns. That means talking through thoughts and practical habits, then trying simple changes between sessions.

This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. Farhan also supports people coping with complex challenges such as trauma and abuse, bereavement, and family breakdown. He offers focused work around attachment, communication problems, addiction, and body image concerns.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and pace. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Fees vary with location and subscription terms can be cancelled at any time.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred and CBT approaches for online therapy

Farhan combines client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural tools to support people online. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens closely, mirrors what is said, and helps people find their own answers. It is useful for building trust, talking through difficult feelings and deciding what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood. It involves spotting patterns, testing small behavioural changes, and using practical exercises between sessions. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, sleeping problems and some aspects of trauma recovery.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try approaches, and adapt plans based on how you respond. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively so sessions match needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for a near face-to-face conversation, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel commitments.
