How her therapeutic approaches work online
Mehbuba draws on trauma-focused work to help people process distressing memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Trauma-focused work looks at how difficult events affect feelings and behaviour and introduces steady steps to manage those reactions.She also uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections. This approach helps people notice repeating relationship habits and try out new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mehbuba works with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to set the pace and feed back about what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit around work or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around daily life.
