Sadia Khan
Compassionate counsellor for stress and trauma
About Sadia
Sadia Khan helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting strain, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her work includes practical help for career worries, anger, eating concerns and attention difficulties such as ADHD.
She uses a warm, non-judgemental style that aims to put people at ease from the first conversation. Sessions are conversational and interactive.
Background and approach
The focus is on what matters to the person in front of her and on small steps that can make life feel more manageable. Her approach blends several proven ways of working, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment thinking, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical skills. She adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a fixed routine.
This means therapy is shaped around individual needs and goals. Sadia has four years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers help in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu for people from varied cultural backgrounds.
People can expect clear practical strategies alongside time to talk through feelings and past experiences. Sessions aim to build understanding, reduce overwhelming reactions and help people find ways to move forward. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then book sessions according to her schedule.
The subscription-based model can be cancelled at any time.

Sessions & fees
Approach and online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and when people feel stuck in unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. This approach often helps with low mood, anxiety and coping skills.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest an approach that fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, and text or chat can suit those who want brief, frequent support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or location while still focusing on practical tools and emotional understanding.
