About Halima
Halima Butt is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. She works with clients struggling with self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around parenting and family dynamics. Halima approaches each person with sensitivity and respect and aims to create a calm space to talk things through.
Halima uses a client-centred way of working, which means sessions are shaped around the person's priorities and pace. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These methods are used together to meet the needs people bring into therapy.
With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Halima has supported people facing a range of difficulties including addiction, eating concerns, bipolar and depression, and the effects of sexual assault or domestic violence. She also offers help around smoking or vaping cessation and compassion fatigue for those feeling worn down.
Halima is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and can work with people outside the UK. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Halima tailors the plan to each person and helps set achievable steps toward clearer goals.
How Halima uses different therapy styles online
Halima combines client-centred work with practical methods to help people make progress. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and feelings, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client can make sense of their experience. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds influence current connections, which can support changes in relationship dynamics.These approaches are used alongside cognitive behavioural techniques when it helps to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and actions. Finding the right mix is a joint process - the counsellor will discuss preferences, needs and goals and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so it fits the person's life and aims.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If video is difficult, other options may help keep contact manageable; check the platform options when you book.
