Mehbuba Khalid

Mehbuba Khalid is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people facing relationship strains, trauma, anxiety and low mood. She speaks English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu and works with individuals who want practical support for issues like sleep problems, addiction, grief and low self‑esteem. Mehbuba writes plainly and meets people where they are, helping them take small steps forward.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early experiences shape current relationships. Client-centred ways of working mean sessions focus on the person's pace and priorities. Mehbuba also uses narrative techniques to help people tell their story differently and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, for processing traumatic memories.

Her background includes five years of clinical work alongside roles in supervision and teaching. That mix keeps her thinking about both practice and professional development. Mehbuba brings experience with a wide range of concerns including intimacy, eating problems, parenting stress, career shifts and ADHD-related difficulties.

In sessions she aims to build trust, explore useful patterns, and try out new ways of coping. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help day to day. Practical strategies are paired with chances to look at deeper relationship or attachment issues when people are ready.

People who come to her often want steady, collaborative work rather than quick fixes. She encourages realistic goals and checks in about progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand patterns of closeness and distance in their relationships and reduce repeating old hurts. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace; the therapist listens without directing and helps people find their own solutions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's goals, history and comfort level, and then try out those ways of working in collaboration with the client. That makes it easier to adjust if something is not helping.

Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing shorter check-ins during a break. Different approaches translate well to remote work: attachment and client-centred conversations move easily to video or phone, while EMDR can be adapted for remote use with guidance from the therapist. Because session formats are not specified here, please confirm the exact online options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote therapy to help people balance treatment with work, family and other commitments.
