About Rabia
Rabia Waqar Khan helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting and family pressures, career challenges, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day demands.
Rabia introduces ideas at a pace that fits each person and focuses on small, doable steps. Rabia draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and skills-based work influenced by Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Mindfulness practices and client-centred listening also shape sessions, so people feel heard while learning new ways to act and think. She is a BACP counsellor, which means she works within the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Rabia has practised for 12 years and has experience helping people move from feeling stuck to making practical changes in their lives. In sessions she invites people to set realistic goals and to try short exercises between meetings. The focus is on building coping skills, managing overwhelming thoughts, and improving everyday routines.
Rabia encourages regular check-ins so progress can be adjusted as life changes. Rabia offers therapy in English and also speaks Punjabi and Urdu. People who live outside the UK can work with her, and she will discuss how best to begin when contacted through the service.

How Rabia works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rabia collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on their goals and what feels practical. She adapts the pace and tools as progress is made so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Please confirm the therapist's current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, shorten travel time, or choose quieter times for check-ins. It also allows for using brief practical exercises or screen-shared worksheets during the session to practise skills between meetings.
