About Rukhsana
Rukhsana Khan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, stress or difficult relationships. She welcomes straightforward conversations where worries are named and the next steps become clearer. Rukhsana speaks plainly and helps clients work out what’s most important to them right now.
She has seven years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work often focuses on common life strains such as grief, family conflict, parenting pressures, intimacy concerns and coping with change.
Background and approach
She also helps people manage issues linked to trauma, anger and long-standing self-esteem problems. Rukhsana draws on a mix of well-known approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. A client-centred stance keeps the conversation grounded in what the person wants from therapy. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.
Rukhsana will listen first, then help set manageable goals and try straightforward strategies to reduce distress. She can explore deeper themes with psychodynamic or solution-focused work where that fits the client’s needs. Rukhsana runs sessions in English and accepts international clients.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, so people can choose the format that suits their day and their needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. She discusses different options with each person and adapts methods to match their needs and goals. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences guide which techniques are tried and when to shift direction.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick strategies or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
