About Iffat
Iffat Iqbal is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with issues around self-esteem, motivation and coping with big life changes. Iffat practices from the United Kingdom and brings three years of experience to her work.
Her way of working focuses on listening without judgement and responding to what each person brings. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs and goals rather than a fixed programme. Conversations aim to help people feel heard and to identify small, practical steps they can try between meetings.
Iffat also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, loneliness, caregiver stress, and problems with communication and control. She addresses feelings such as guilt, shame and impulsivity, and common life challenges like midlife transitions, money worries and questions about life purpose.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful memories, body image or post-traumatic stress concerns at a pace that suits them. The focus is on building self-understanding and more reliable ways of coping in everyday life.
Iffat describes her work as collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals, reviews progress, and adapts the approach as needed to meet changing circumstances and priorities.
How client-centred counselling works for online sessions
Client-centred Therapy is built around the belief that people know themselves best. The counsellor creates an accepting space and follows the client's lead, helping them explore feelings, values and choices. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and coping with change.Because the work is collaborative, finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and will adjust the way sessions run based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. Together they set goals and check progress along the way.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting meetings around work or family time and reducing travel. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments during busy weeks and to try shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to support ongoing work on stress, relationships, trauma-related concerns and self-esteem without requiring an in-person visit.
