About Sadia
Sadia Khan is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds two master’s degrees and has worked in several countries. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes.
Her work focuses on honest conversation and practical exploration. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and identify unhelpful patterns. She will ask direct questions and gently challenge ways of thinking that may be holding someone back.
Sadia draws on several counselling approaches to match the person and the issue. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change thinking patterns, and solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals.
Originally from Bangladesh, she has lived in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Singapore, and speaks English and Bengali. She works with people from varied backgrounds and brings that international experience into sessions.
People can expect a practical, conversational style that aims to increase self-understanding. She supports work on attachment, communication problems, body image, codependency, family of origin issues, fertility concerns, feelings of emptiness and isolation, and related topics. Sessions are led by the person's needs and goals.

How her approaches work with online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers reflections and questions that help people clarify feelings and priorities, which can be useful for relationship stress, low self-esteem and life changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills, often helpful for anxiety and depression.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure about change. It helps people weigh options and find internal reasons to move forward, which can suit decisions around relationships, separation or major life transitions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses to focus on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work or busy days, reduce travel time and allow follow-up work between meetings. Discuss practical arrangements when you book so sessions fit your routine and needs.
