About Rukhsana
Rukhsana Khan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflicts, low self-esteem, trauma and grief. Rukhsana also focuses on intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, person-focused ways of working. Sessions aim to give people space to talk through what matters most to them. Conversations look at how current patterns began and what might help change them day to day.
Rukhsana draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred methods. That means she pays attention to early relationship patterns, thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going, and the person’s own goals for change. She can use shorter solution-focused strategies as needed.
In practice she listens to the immediate problem and then picks practical steps people can try between sessions. Therapy may include looking at unhelpful thinking, learning different ways to respond to strong emotions, and noticing patterns in relationships. The work is conversational and task-oriented when useful.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and trust. Online conversations can track patterns in close relationships and help people experiment with new ways of relating to others.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online work can use simple exercises and between-session tasks to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that feed guilt or shame.
Client-Centred work prioritises listening and the client’s own goals. In remote sessions this means she will follow what matters most to the person and adjust pace and focus as needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the person and decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress or difficulties become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and travel. They also support shorter check-ins, camera-off conversations, or regular weekly meetings when that suits day-to-day life.
