About Farhan
Farhan Ghafoor is a counsellor with eight years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. He focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. He aims to support and empower individuals who want change, helping them take the first difficult steps toward feeling better.
He often works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, panic-related worries, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and problems with sleep or eating. He also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, or those dealing with guilt, shame and isolation. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and challenges connected to cancer and end-of-life situations.
His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions he listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour. He encourages practical steps that can be tried between meetings and reviewed together.
People describe sessions as direct and straightforward, with time spent on what matters most to them. Farhan works to build trust so difficult feelings can be spoken about honestly. He aims to help people make sense of their experiences and find coping strategies that fit their life.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Farhan uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, listening presence where people can speak without judgement and find their own solutions. CBT aims to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and try small, practical experiments to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to decide what methods fit each person's goals and preferences. That process can involve trying ideas in session and adjusting them as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use different ways of working, such as talking through thoughts or jointly reviewing exercises between sessions, while keeping the focus on practical steps that suit everyday life.
