About Hajran

Hajran Khan is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 16 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem and career difficulties. She also supports those coping with life changes, addictions, relationship problems, grief, trauma and other listed issues.

Her approach begins from the view that each person knows their own story best. She works collaboratively and uses straightforward tools to reduce worry and increase clarity. Conversations focus on practical ways to manage intense feelings, rebuild confidence and make clearer decisions about work and home life.

She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are hard. Attachment-based work looks at patterns that grew up in early relationships and how they show up now.

Sessions are calm and purposeful. People can expect to talk through recent struggles, practice small changes between sessions, and review what helps. She aims to balance emotional understanding with clear steps to move forward.

Hajran has worked with many adults across a wide range of concerns over her career. If someone is unsure whether this is the right match, she encourages completing the brief matching form and booking an initial session to explore fit.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments that change feelings and behaviour. It suits worries about stress, sleep, mood and problem-solving at home. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns such as avoidance or fear in relationships and helps people understand how past bonds influence current reactions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which approaches best match the client’s goals, day-to-day constraints and preferences. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into ordinary life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel demands, or choosing audio rather than video when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and pacing to work well in remote sessions and help people apply changes at home.
