About Tahseen

Tahseen Rizvi is a counsellor accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or major life changes. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making it easier to speak about difficult feelings.

She helps people work through trauma, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She also addresses issues such as addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and multicultural matters. Sessions are conducted in English and Urdu.

Tahseen uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relational patterns, client-centred work to prioritise the person’s experience, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused methods when those fit the situation.

In practical terms she aims for a straightforward, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and begin to make changes. Conversations are paced to the individual, with time spent on what matters most right now. People often start by identifying one or two immediate goals and then explore longer-standing patterns when they feel ready.

Tahseen accepts clients from the UK and internationally. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP, which indicates her professional affiliation in the UK. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Tahseen integrates attachment-based ideas and client-centred work in a way that suits online conversations. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections, which can help when people struggle with belonging, trust or codependency. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience, offering space to be heard and to make sense of feelings without pressure.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties because it often includes clear steps and homework to practise between sessions. The therapist approaches choices collaboratively and will help clients decide which methods fit their needs and goals.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the original biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins when life is hectic. It can also offer quieter options such as shorter check-ins when a full session is difficult. The therapist will work with each person to find a practical way of meeting that fits their routine and aims.
