Tahseen Rizvi , BACP

Tahseen Rizvi is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people facing difficult moments. Tahseen aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and to find small, practical steps forward.

She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation, and multicultural issues.

In sessions she combines conversation with goal-focused work. Tahseen uses client-centred listening alongside techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and attachment-based thinking. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to understand patterns and identify practical next steps.

People can expect a straightforward style. Tahseen aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without blame. She encourages clients to set manageable goals and to try simple exercises between sessions when helpful.

She offers work in English and Urdu and accepts international clients. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can help people understand trust, abandonment worries, and why certain relationship patterns keep repeating. Client-centred therapy emphasises being heard and respected; the counsellor follows the client’s lead and helps them make sense of their own experience. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tahseen collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the sessions stay focused and relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls give a face-to-face feel when that is helpful, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or who want flexible, ongoing contact. These options let people work from wherever is quiet and convenient, and they provide multiple ways to keep making progress between meetings.
