Iffat Iqbal

Iffat Iqbal is a counsellor who works from a client-focused approach called Client-Centred Therapy. She aims to make sessions warm and straightforward. People turn to her for help with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.

She keeps things practical and personalised. Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and life situation. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

In sessions she helps people cope with life changes and difficult feelings. That includes issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, struggles with body image, and feelings of guilt and shame. Isolation and loneliness are also among the concerns she supports people with.

Her background includes three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses the counselling relationship to build trust and to support people in making manageable changes.

Progress is planned together. That might mean working on communication, setting boundaries, or noticing unhelpful self-talk. The aim is clearer thinking and more useful ways of coping, not quick fixes. Iffat describes the work as a steady conversation toward practical steps.

To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The therapy model and pace are adjusted as the work moves forward.

Client‑centred care adapted for online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you make sense of your feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-worth, relationship worries and the loneliness that often follows major life changes.

The therapy process is collaborative. The counsellor will help you choose how to work together based on your goals and preferences. You and the therapist adapt the pace and focus as progress is made, so the approach can change if your needs shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video at every meeting, depending on the available formats. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh practicalities and find a rhythm that fits your daily routine.
