About Javeria

Javeria Khan is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues and ADHD. Javeria speaks English, Hindi and Urdu.

She trained in counselling and psychology, holding a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a Foundation Degree in Applied work (FDA), and a BA (Hons) in Counselling. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has additional practice using person-centred experiential methods for depression.

In sessions she uses a person-centred approach combined with psychodynamic ideas. That means conversations aim to understand how earlier experiences shape current feelings and patterns. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to look at emotional responses in close relationships.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She pays attention to social, cultural and spiritual factors that affect someone’s mood and choices. Practical problems such as sleep, eating, work stress or parenting strain are addressed alongside emotional themes.

People often come to her wanting clearer communication, more stable moods, or help coping with life changes like separation, bereavement or career shifts. The first sessions focus on identifying what matters most and agreeing on ways to work together.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Person-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and accepting the person’s experience. Online sessions focus on giving time for a clear, steady conversation so feelings and choices can be named and worked through. This method is often helpful for people feeling stuck, unsure about relationships, or drained by life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at emotional patterns in close relationships and how those feelings drive behaviour. In remote work this can mean identifying typical reactions, practising new responses, and strengthening emotional understanding between partners or within the individual’s relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree together which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and relevant to day-to-day demands.

The therapist’s exact session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use sessions from different locations when their routine changes.
