About Rabia
Rabia Waqar Khan helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressures, career uncertainty, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She works with individuals who want practical ways to feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope. Rabia speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu, and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
Rabia uses straightforward, person-centred conversations to find what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and helps people identify realistic goals. Practical skills and simple exercises are introduced step by step so they are easier to use between sessions. Her practice draws on proven approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness.
These methods are used in plain terms to help shift unhelpful thoughts, build helpful habits and increase acceptance of difficult feelings. Sessions also include elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and motivational interviewing when relevant. Rabia has twelve years of experience supporting people through change.
She is a BACP counsellor, which indicates her professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background means she is comfortable working with a wide range of concerns and life stages. People who come to Rabia can expect a calm, steady presence and a focus on small, achievable steps.
She encourages regular review of progress and adapts work to suit each person’s pace. Getting started usually involves a short conversation to identify priorities and plan the next steps.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Rabia discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try first. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something is not working, keeping the process collaborative and goal oriented.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls suit longer therapy sessions and more interactive work, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging are useful for short check‑ins, in‑the‑moment coaching or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside a busy life.
