About Halima

Halima Butt works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and life changes, and uses conversational counselling to help people find clearer ways forward. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Halima offers short, focused conversations that aim to identify practical steps and clearer thinking. Sessions look at what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small actions that can make daily life easier. She adapts the pace to suit each person and keeps language straightforward.

Her work covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and family conflict. She also supports people with addiction-related problems, eating concerns, anger and coping with mood swings including depression and bipolar-related challenges. Additional areas include communication difficulties, domestic violence, gender dysphoria and sexual assault and abuse.

Halima draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally-focused techniques and mindfulness. These methods are used to help people reflect on patterns, manage distressing thoughts and rebuild connection with themselves and others.

She offers support around career and life purpose, smoking and vaping cessation, compassion fatigue and coaching-style conversations for motivation. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to schedule a first session.

Halima keeps the focus practical and conversational, aiming to make counselling understandable and manageable for people juggling busy lives.

How Halima uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and how to build more secure ways of relating in close relationships.

Client-centred counselling concentrates on the person’s experience in the moment. The counsellor listens without directing, and helps the person find their own solutions and clearer thinking.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by testing thoughts and developing practical coping steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Halima will talk through options with each person, based on their goals and preferences, and agree a way of working together that fits those needs.

Practical benefits of working remotely include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have a shorter check-in when needed or avoid being on camera if that helps someone engage. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact session options before booking to make sure they fit everyday life.
