Mehbuba Khalid, BACP

Mehbuba Khalid is a counsellor who helps people navigate relationship strains, intimacy concerns, trauma and related issues. She speaks English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu, and draws on five years of clinical experience to support people through problems like depression, addictions, sleep disturbance and grief. She works with individuals on matters such as self-esteem, career stress and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses parenting stresses, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach is relational and trauma-informed. She blends Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to create a steady, respectful space for people to talk through painful memories and current struggles. Mehbuba also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method when these match a person's needs. Sessions aim to help people make sense of patterns, change unhelpful habits and build more satisfying relationships.

She brings experience from teaching and supervising other practitioners into her clinical work, which she says keeps her thinking reflective and up to date. Her BACP registration is part of how she describes her professional standing. Mehbuba practises from the United Kingdom and is open to working with people internationally in English and the other languages listed.

People who choose her can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone, with practical conversation alongside emotional reflection. She invites clients to set goals together and to review progress as therapy continues. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy process and then schedule sessions based on availability.

How these approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. In short sessions this helps people see recurring patterns in their close relationships and try different ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work; the counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace to build understanding and self-trust. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, involves processing distressing memories through structured bilateral stimulation alongside focused discussion, and can help reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options collaboratively and try to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. That might mean using relational exploration first, then adding EMDR or narrative work when appropriate; the choice is reviewed together as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can help fit sessions around busy lives by removing travel time and making it easier to attend from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling when needed. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be held, and the therapist will help tailor the practical arrangements to what works best for you.
