About Farhan
Farhan Ghafoor offers a warm, person-centred approach that helps people feel heard and understood. He combines client-centred work with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to address everyday problems. Farhan aims to make sessions straightforward and accessible for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
He has eight years of professional experience working with stress and anxiety. He also helps people who are facing relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Addiction, trauma and abuse, and low mood are other common concerns he supports. In sessions he focuses on listening first, then helping people notice patterns that make life harder. He uses simple CBT tools to try different ideas and responses, and client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person.
The work is practical and paced to what the person wants to try. Farhan also supports people dealing with attachment issues, body image concerns, cancer-related worries, and communication problems. He can help with fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or jealousy.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online, with options to use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people to a suitable schedule and format.
Farhan aims to make the first steps feel manageable. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space and practical steps for everyday life.

Approaches Farhan 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
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses straightforward exercises to test new responses and reduce anxiety, low mood, sleep problems or persistent unhelpful behaviours.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so the plan fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and try different formats to see what works best.
