About Rukhsana
Rukhsana Khan is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety and stress. She meets individuals who are struggling with relationships, low self-esteem and grief. Her first priority is to listen and to make people feel heard without judgement.
She offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk about painful memories and current worries. Rukhsana draws on different ways of working to match what a person needs. Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to the client rather than rushed.
Background and approach
Rukhsana has seven years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration. She has worked with people facing trauma, family conflict, chronic illness and life changes. That background shapes how she supports people through recovery and coping.
In sessions she uses practical techniques alongside deeper reflection. Some work focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Other work looks at attachment and how past relationships affect present ones.
She also uses short-term, goal-focused tools to tackle immediate problems and build skills. People can expect a mix of talking, gentle challenge and practical steps to try between sessions. Rukhsana aims to help people find clearer ways forward and to feel more able to manage daily life.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s experience. The counsellor follows the client’s pace and helps people find their own answers through reflective conversation.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for depression, anxiety and stress to build clearer ways of coping and problem solving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping a steady course of support.
