Tahseen Rizvi, BACP

Tahseen Rizvi is a counsellor with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Tahseen aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and direct support for people ready to change their lives.

She has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting concerns. Other areas she supports include self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, career challenges, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes.

Tahseen describes her style as warm and non-judgemental. She focuses on listening first and helping people put words to difficult feelings. Sessions are intended as a space to reflect, try new ways of thinking, and practise small changes between meetings.

Her approach draws on several therapies to meet different needs. For some clients she uses attachment-focused work to look at patterns formed in early relationships. For others she responds with practical, goal-oriented techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused when helpful, while also making room for deeper exploration where that feels needed. Tahseen encourages people to bring questions and to shape the work around their goals and day-to-day realities.

How Tahseen's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current emotions and behaviour. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and works on building different responses in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses clear exercises and tasks to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's own experience, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tahseen will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice helps make the sessions relevant and manageable for everyday life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work helps them fit therapy around work, family and daily routines, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing practical needs at the first appointment helps shape a plan that fits into a client's schedule and goals.
