About Hajran

Hajran Khan works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She helps those dealing with low self-esteem, confidence issues, career difficulties, grief and relationship concerns. Hajran also supports people facing addictive behaviours, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to chronic illness or caregiving.

Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. Hajran draws on a mix of methods that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to suit each person's needs.

Across 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom she has worked with many different concerns. Her experience covers emotional difficulties such as depression, bipolar features, trauma and anger, and practical areas like parenting strain and career stress. She also attends to identity and intimacy issues, including LGBT matters and body image.

In a session she will listen to your story and help you find small, manageable changes. Techniques might include noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning grounding and emotion regulation skills, or clarifying values and next steps. The emphasis is on what helps you function better day to day.

Hajran is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How selected approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters to them. It supports people living with health challenges, chronic pain, anxiety or low mood by clarifying values and encouraging small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where the person leads the pace and the therapist offers empathy and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try out methods, and adapt the work based on what helps most. This collaborative attitude means plans can change as needs and priorities shift.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also support continuity when managing chronic illness or caregiving demands because sessions can be scheduled around medical appointments and energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match approach and practical arrangements to each person's life and needs.
