About Atifa
Atifa Begum is a BACP counsellor with three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She builds strong therapeutic relationships and focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, low mood and stress. Atifa is particularly interested in struggles around culture and identity and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
She draws on a person-centred style that emphasises empathy and active listening. That means sessions begin with the client's story and move at a pace that feels right for them.
Background and approach
Atifa blends solution-focused ideas with other approaches to tailor each session to the person's needs. In practice she helps people talk through worries about self-esteem, body image and social anxiety. She also supports those dealing with grief, guilt and shame.
Practical communication skills and clearer thinking are often part of the work. Sessions are delivered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines. The focus is on small, achievable steps that fit daily life.
Atifa encourages people to try things between sessions and review what does and does not help. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with attention to detail and a focus on realistic goals. People who want a collaborative approach that respects identity and culture may find her helpful.
The first sessions are used to set aims and agree how to move forward.

What Atifa works with
Everything Atifa lists, in their own terms.
Online support
She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, practical steps and what can be changed now. These are useful for managing anxiety, building confidence and tackling specific problems like communication difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that suit the person's aims, and adapt the work as progress is reviewed. Clients are encouraged to say what helps and what does not so plans can be adjusted together.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter connection is needed or when a video setup is not possible. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
