About Arfeen

Arfeen Afsar is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting challenges. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.

Arfeen works in a conversational way and adapts sessions to each person's needs.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and helps clients talk through current problems. She also supports people who are dealing with family conflict, communication issues, social anxiety and feelings of isolation. Parents who are feeling overwhelmed can expect practical conversation about coping, boundaries and daily routines.

People struggling with grief will be given space to name painful feelings and find ways to carry on that feel right for them. Those with attention challenges such as ADHD can work on strategies to reduce stress and improve organisation. Sessions are designed to suit individual preferences and goals.

Arfeen emphasises simple, realistic steps that fit into everyday life rather than complicated plans. She encourages clients to set small goals and review progress together. The aim is steady, manageable change.

Arfeen supports people through difficult moments, helping them build tools to feel more able and connected. She invites anyone ready to start to take the first step and explore what feels most helpful for them.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set programme. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, grief and relationship tensions because it helps people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Arfeen will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the way she works to suit each person. This is a collaborative process that looks at what feels most helpful and practical for daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give choice and flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need regular, brief contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change.
