About Rukhsana

Rukhsana Khan is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works with issues like grief, trauma, low self-esteem and problems around intimacy and parenting. Rukhsana is based in the United Kingdom and has seven years of clinical experience.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rukhsana aims to make sessions simple and direct. She uses listening and thoughtful questions to help people make sense of what feels overwhelming.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on small steps that can ease daily life. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred skills to follow each person's pace and priorities.

Cognitive behavioural tools are used when thought patterns and behaviours are getting in the way of feeling better. Rukhsana pays attention to past experiences through a psychodynamic lens when helpful, and she brings solution-focused work to practical problems. This mix is chosen to suit each person rather than as a fixed package.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to build clearer choices and coping skills. She offers therapy in English and can work with international clients. Rukhsana provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

How Rukhsana blends approaches for online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current needs and reactions; it helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeating patterns in relationships. Client-centred therapy places the person at the centre of the work and uses active listening and empathy to let someone set the pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teach practical strategies to change them.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the conversation. Rukhsana will work with the client to identify goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress emerges. That collaborative process lets the therapy match both the issue and the individual's preferences rather than following a fixed template.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when people want face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit those who prefer to be off camera, live chat offers shorter check-ins and messaging lets someone write out thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to choose the pace and style that feels most helpful.
