About Riffat
Riffat Jabeen is a counsellor who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and other approaches to help people feel steadier in their everyday lives. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and supports people facing trauma, relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
Riffat tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She listens in a non-judgemental way and focuses on what matters to the client in the moment.
Background and approach
Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to untangle what feels overwhelming. Her practice uses a mix of methods, including attachment-informed work and cognitive-behavioural techniques. She helps people connect earlier experiences to present struggles, especially when past events are still causing distress.
Practical tools such as mindfulness and grounding exercises are offered for stress relief and better sleep. Riffat also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, career stress, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and many interpersonal issues like commitment, codependency and blended family concerns. She addresses both emotional and practical effects of chronic illness, chronic pain and dissociation.
She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards and takes regular supervision. Her style is collaborative: clients set goals and she helps map steps toward them. Sessions can be held online by video, phone, live chat or messaging to fit different needs.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping difficult emotional patterns. It helps people notice strong feelings and change how they respond to them, which can ease anxiety, depression and intimacy-related worries.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions. This approach helps people understand why certain situations feel triggering and develop new ways of connecting with themselves and others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different methods to see what feels most useful. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasise emotional processing, attachment work or practical cognitive tools.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps maintain face-to-face interaction, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats add flexibility so therapy can be scheduled around work, family or travel.
