About Abida Haroon

Abida Haroon recognises that life can be hard and that talking about personal struggles with family and friends can sometimes feel impossible, leaving people feeling isolated and alone. She understands that asking for help is difficult and that those new to counselling may wonder whether they need it. For anyone seeking greater self-awareness and insight, Abida offers counselling as a starting point on a journey toward healing and clearer choices.

She acknowledges the stress and anxiety many people are feeling in uncertain times and can provide an outside perspective to help untangle difficult patterns. Abida aims to create a space where clients can express emotions without fear of judgement, and where they are supported in building resilience, self-acceptance and confidence. Working together, she helps people explore concerns, understand themselves more fully and make changes that feel right for them.

Abida strives to see the world through each client’s eyes and to stand alongside them throughout their process. She has supported women who have experienced domestic abuse and assisted them in their recovery journeys. Her Asian background also brings additional understanding when navigating cultural and religious challenges. Abida is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Therapeutic Approaches Abida Uses in Online Therapy

Abida integrates client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and trauma-focused therapy into her online work to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and empathy, helping people feel heard while they explore self-acceptance and personal growth; it is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional patterns within relationships, making it helpful for couples, intimacy-related issues and family tensions. Trauma-focused therapy offers targeted strategies to process and recover from past harm and stressful events, supporting people dealing with abuse, post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Abida works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists aim to tailor work to each client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Abida is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations and continue work in ways that feel most manageable for each person.
