About Tahseen
Tahseen Rizvi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings four years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She offers sessions in English and Urdu and accepts international clients.
Her style is warm and down to earth. She aims to make sessions feel calm and non-judgemental so people can speak openly about their worries. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage distress alongside space to work through painful experiences.
Background and approach
Tahseen blends body-aware work with talk-based approaches. She may use somatic techniques to help people notice bodily reactions to stress and trauma. She also draws on attachment ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns.
She uses client-centred ways of listening so each person’s goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioural techniques can be introduced when helpful to tackle unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Psychodynamic ideas may help untangle repeating patterns from past experiences.
People come for a wide range of concerns, including grief, addictions, parenting worries, self-esteem and relationship stress. Tahseen also works with issues such as body image, dissociation, codependency and multicultural concerns. The focus is on small, achievable changes that fit a person’s life and values.
How Tahseen blends approaches for online counselling
Somatic Therapy helps people connect bodily sensations with emotions and stress. It can be useful for trauma, anxiety and patterns that show up as tightness, tension or numbness in the body. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and feeling safe with others; it can help with intimacy, abandonment or trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy means the person’s goals set the pace and focus, with the counsellor listening without judgement and reflecting back what is heard.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tahseen will discuss options and try different ways of working to find what fits best. The decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around family, work or travel and let people keep continuity if they move location. Many find that remote sessions still allow for meaningful, practical changes when paired with approaches that include somatic awareness and talk-based reflection.
