Farhan Ghafoor

Farhan Ghafoor works in the United Kingdom and brings eight years of counselling experience to his practice. He creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement. He aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better and more able to cope with life’s challenges.

Farhan supports people dealing with stress and anxiety as well as depression and problems with sleeping and eating. He also helps with relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, grief and loss, and addictions. Additional areas he focuses on include attachment concerns, body image, communication problems, cancer-related distress, and hospice and end-of-life counselling.

His approach combines client-centred therapy with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. That means sessions start from the person’s own experience and priorities, while also using practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building skills that carry into everyday life.

Farhan works in English and follows the standards associated with BACP. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions.

He encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard, and to work at a pace that feels manageable. The focus is on collaboration, practical tools and steady progress.

Combining client-centred work and CBT for online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of the counsellor. It gives space for someone to tell their story and set the goals for their work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit the person’s needs. That might mean leaning more on listening and reflection, or on skill-building and homework tasks, depending on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. They also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules change, while the collaborative work on thought patterns and coping strategies transfers to everyday routines.
