About Hajran

Hajran Khan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, low self-esteem, career worries and life transitions. Hajran also lists support for addiction, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, mood difficulties and LGBT issues.

She approaches sessions with the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In practice this means listening first, then helping people notice what is already working and what gets in the way. Conversations are practical and focused on small, usable changes rather than abstract theory.

Hajran draws on a mix of psychological methods, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-focused strategies, to help people manage unhelpful thoughts and emotions. She also uses attachment-informed ways of looking at relationship patterns and a client-centred stance to keep the focus on the person in front of her.

Over 16 years she has helped people facing big life shifts such as starting or changing careers, coping with family expectations, moving countries and managing mood or concentration differences. Her work includes attention to everyday tasks like sleep, eating and keeping routines when life feels chaotic.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-orientated. Hajran supports people to set realistic steps, practise new skills between sessions and review what helps. Her English-language practice accepts international clients who wish to work with a UK-based BACP counsellor.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and situations where avoidance has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing out small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and practical skills such as sleep or routine management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that suit their goals and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and reviewed as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the exact options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around study, work and moving between homes. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and let people avoid travel on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
