About Raheema
Counsellor Raheema Harris is a BACP member with three years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, self-esteem, and confidence concerns.
Raheema talks through what is happening now and what people want to change. She uses straightforward conversation alongside practical tools. This can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns, and using mindfulness to manage strong feelings.
Her sessions also address trauma, domestic abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger and coping with life changes. She lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues and caregiver stress. Raheema also notes work with people affected by cancer and those facing questions about life purpose.
She draws on client-centred therapy to follow the person’s priorities in the room. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to break down thoughts and actions that maintain distress. Jungian ideas and mindfulness approaches may also be introduced where they fit the person’s needs.
Raheema keeps sessions practical and paced to what each person can manage. She asks about priorities early on and works together to agree small steps. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes rather than complex theory.
People who speak English and live in the United Kingdom are the intended client group. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm the current session options and practical arrangements.
How Raheema uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client wants to work on. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to set their own pace.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and worry about relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Raheema will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first. The choice is based on the client’s needs, goals and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and let people meet from a location that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements when you book.
