Tahseen Rizvi

Tahseen Rizvi is a BACP counsellor who brings four years of clinical experience to her work. She meets people with warmth and practical support, helping them talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and parenting concerns. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps people can try between meetings.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings are named and understood. The aim is to reduce shame and isolation and to build clearer ways of coping with everyday life. Tahseen uses straightforward conversation alongside techniques drawn from cognitive and relational approaches.

Tahseen draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions. She also uses client-centred methods that place the person's priorities at the centre of sessions. Cognitive behavioural approaches help break down unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours in manageable stages.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, addiction, relationship difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, body image, narcissism and multicultural concerns. Tahseen also supports people coping with change, loss and the emotional strain of caregiving.

Sessions are offered in English and Urdu. She works with people from diverse backgrounds and aims to adapt her style to each person's needs. To begin, she encourages a simple first step so people feel more in control of the next stage.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. In therapy this means talking about recurring relationship themes and testing small changes in how people relate to others. Client-centred work places the person’s priorities at the heart of each session and focuses on listening, empathy and the client’s own goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical experiments to try out new ways of thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tahseen will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods best match goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion can include mixing elements from different approaches as needs change over time.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, fitting a brief check-in during a work break, or using a quieter setting with less background noise. It also makes it possible to work with therapists across time zones when international appointments are needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on practical coping, relationship patterns and step-by-step behavioural experiments without requiring extra travel.
