About Farhan
Farhan Ghafoor is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. He combines that client-centred style with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to support practical change. He speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, drawing on eight years of experience in the field.
His sessions aim to create an open and non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about what is worrying them. He listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and helps clients try small, manageable changes. This can include ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts, improve communication, or cope with loss.
Farhan has worked with people facing family conflict, parenting strain, addiction and trauma and abuse. He also helps with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, body image concerns and feelings of isolation. He offers support for practical life transitions like divorce, fatherhood and end-of-life matters.
In practice he balances being warm and direct. Conversations may cover feelings, past experiences and current habits. Where useful, he uses cognitive behavioural techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build alternative responses.
People who choose him are typically looking for steady support and real-world strategies. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy process on the site to match and schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.
How Client-Centred Work and CBT Translate to Online Sessions
Farhan uses client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers; it is helpful for talking through feelings, grief and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and helps people try practical changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest approaches that fit the person's needs. That plan can change as therapy moves along, with the client and counsellor checking what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote therapy easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during breaks. Others prefer face-to-face appointments for longer, deeper conversations, so it is worth discussing what suits your routine and comfort when you book.
