About Rabia

Rabia Waqar Khan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and career concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue and coaching for life transitions. Rabia holds BACP credentials and brings 12 years of experience to her practice.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and works to build practical skills that fit everyday routines.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals, steady progress and small, manageable steps rather than jargon or abstract theory. Rabia draws on a mix of approaches to match what’s needed in the room. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and stay motivated.

Cognitive behaviour techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working to ensure people feel heard and understood. For clients with strong emotional dysregulation she may incorporate dialectical behaviour strategies to teach coping and distress tolerance skills.

Rabia speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu, which can help when cultural context matters in sessions. She works with international clients as well, offering a way to access support across borders. Her approach is practical, patient and focused on helping people make real changes in daily life.

Approach and access: therapy methods online

Rabia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal goals rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thinking and behaviour that maintain stress, anxiety and low mood. CBT offers practical exercises and experiments that can be done between sessions to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rabia will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and achievable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs. Video calls let people connect face to face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
