About Hajran

Hajran Khan helps people with stress, anxiety, family conflict, self-esteem, career issues and motivation, and she works with a broad range of concerns including trauma, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She uses a conversational, person-focused approach and believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Hajran is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 16 years of professional experience.

Hajran draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of daily life, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice values and take committed action. She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships affect current patterns.

In sessions she listens and helps people identify practical steps they can try between meetings. She uses skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Client-centred principles guide her conversations so the client’s perspective shapes what happens in therapy.

Hajran has worked with a wide range of presenting issues over her career, including bipolar and depression, ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, and chronic health challenges.

She practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. The first meetings focus on establishing goals and agreeing how to work together.

How Hajran uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often helpful for stress, life changes and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain problems and teaching concrete skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety and depression. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful when relationship difficulties, intimacy issues or attachment concerns are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hajran will discuss options with the client and make a collaborative plan based on their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed. The client’s perspective guides which techniques are used and how sessions are paced.

The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting counselling around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote appointments make it easier to attend regular sessions and to practise skills in everyday situations.
