About Afshan
Afshan Butt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or big life changes. Afshan focuses on creating a calm space where people can talk and be heard without judgement.
She works with a range of concerns linked to family life and relationships, including blended family issues, communication problems and wider family problems.
Background and approach
Afshan also supports people affected by trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence and dissociation. Her practice pays attention to multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. In sessions she uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the person's own goals and pace.
That means listening carefully and shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual. Afshan encourages practical steps and small changes that fit into daily life. People often come for help with guilt, shame, forgiveness and isolation or loneliness.
She also helps those managing control issues or the emotional fallout of major transitions. Afshan aims to balance gentle exploration with clear, realistic planning. Her sessions can be delivered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
She accepts international clients and works in English.

Approaches Afshan lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Working together to find the right approach is part of the process. Afshan will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt sessions as those needs become clearer. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful and whether to try different ways of working over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial expressions and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or different time zones. Overall, online work gives flexibility and makes regular contact more practical for people with busy or complex schedules.
