About Afshan

Afshan Butt practices as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Afshan focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and family issues.

She uses a straightforward, person-centred style in sessions. Afshan aims to build an open space where people can speak about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Background and approach

She encourages clients to take small, manageable steps towards change and to recognise their own strengths. Afshan gives attention to relationship and family concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems and control struggles. She also supports people coping with life changes, immigration challenges, isolation and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.

Work can include talking through guilt, shame, or problems linked to sexual assault and domestic violence. In sessions she listens first and follows the person’s pace. Conversations tend to focus on what matters most to the client and practical ways to reduce distress day to day.

Afshan aims to help people feel more able to cope and more clear about their next steps. She offers appointments using a range of online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients can be seen and sessions are carried out in English.

Ways of working Afshan names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support delivered online

Afshan uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. This style means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma because it centres on the person's own priorities and pace.

The aim is collaborative. Afshan will work with each person to decide which ways of working suit them best. Together they will try methods that feel comfortable and adapt the approach as needs and goals change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls offer a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or regular support that fits around work and family life. These options help people access therapy from different places and at different times, while keeping the focus on what helps them most.
