About Afshan
Afshan Butt is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression and the challenges of life changes. Afshan also lists work with issues such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, and multicultural or immigration-related concerns.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting rather than giving directives. Afshan aims to create a setting where someone can talk through difficult feelings and make sense of what happened to them.
She commonly helps people who are coping with family problems, communication breakdowns, blended family issues and the fallout from domestic or sexual violence. She also works with dissociation, post-traumatic stress, control issues and the isolation that can come from discrimination or immigration stress.
Afshan welcomes discussion about guilt and shame and how these feelings affect daily life and relationships. She offers practical conversation and gentle reflection to help clients explore forgiveness, personal responsibility and next steps. Sessions are in English, and she can accept international clients.
People new to counselling are encouraged to use the booking flow to indicate what they want to focus on. The first meetings are used to agree what to work on and how to proceed, with attention to immediate coping and longer-term concerns.
How Afshan uses client‑centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflection. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through guilt, shame, family conflict, or the after-effects of trauma without being told what to do. It supports people who want to better understand their feelings and decide on next steps.Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Afshan will collaborate with each client to identify what feels most helpful, discussing goals, pacing and what to focus on in sessions. This is done together so the approach can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and reduce travel time. It can also make it practical to continue therapy while living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals offer different ways to meet; Afshan will help decide which option best suits your circumstances and goals.
