Lutfa Khanom , NCPS

Lutfa Khanom is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strains. She also supports those coping with grief, changes in life and struggles with self-esteem. Lutfa writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard from the first session.

She uses empathic listening to help clients put words to difficult feelings. Sessions are non-judgemental and paced to suit each person. Lutfa works with practical steps for motivation, confidence and dealing with conflict.

With nine years of experience and an NCPS credential, she has helped people manage bereavement and living loss. Her work includes addressing intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with career stress, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

Lutfa pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes that often underlie repeating relationship patterns. She will help identify communication habits and small changes that reduce tension at home. She also offers support around major life events such as divorce, separation and serious illness.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. Clients can expect a calm space to talk things through, practical suggestions to try between sessions, and gradual steps towards clearer goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many clients benefit from clear, practical techniques that help manage everyday symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. One evidence-based approach focuses on building coping skills and problem solving to reduce stress and improve confidence; it teaches simple steps to change habits and reactions. Another common method emphasises identifying and changing unhelpful patterns in relationships by looking at attachment and communication styles to ease conflict and improve intimacy.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different approaches and choose what fits best with a person's goals, needs and preferences. This happens together so the plan reflects what the client finds most useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are suited to longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family commitments and travel while keeping continuity of care.
