About Farhan
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience, Farhan Ghafoor focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting and addictions. He uses client-centred therapy alongside cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people manage mood, change unhelpful thinking and improve communication. Sessions are conducted in English and his practice follows the BACP registration noted here.
Farhan meets people who are dealing with worry, low mood, sleep and eating difficulties, and reactions to trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing issues around attachment, body image, cancer-related distress, divorce and separation, and substance use. He aims to make sessions straightforward so practical problems can be addressed alongside emotional responses.
In practice he listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Using a client-centred stance, he focuses on the person’s priorities and experiences rather than imposing an agenda. CBT techniques are introduced when helpful to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and to build small, manageable changes.
Farhan pays attention to communication problems, jealousy, fatherhood and parenting strains, and feelings such as guilt or shame. He also works with people confronting end-of-life issues and hospice-related concerns. Work can include looking at coping strategies, behavioural experiments and ways to improve day-to-day routines.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled. Fees vary by location and sessions are offered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How his approaches work for remote sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s concerns. This approach is about prioritising what the client brings to sessions and working at their pace to discuss feelings and choices. It helps when someone needs a non-directive place to talk through stress, grief or relationship problems.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and build alternative habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating issues, and addictive behaviours.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods in-session, and adjust the plan based on what works for the person. That choice is made together rather than imposed.
Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking to know how meetings take place. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to continue therapy with fewer disruptions, while tailoring exercises and homework to fit everyday life.
