I am Rabina, a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor offering online counselling across the UK, and a Women's Empowerment Coach supporting South Asian women.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, bereavement, trauma and emotional distress, and with women who feel ready to build confidence, reconnect with themselves and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
You maybe feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or carrying a lot quietly whilst balancing expectations, responsibilities and your own inner needs. You might be navigating loss, life transitions, identity questions or longstanding emotional patterns, and finding it hard to prioritise yourself.
I offer a warm, confidential and culturally sensitive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely, without judgement and at your own pace whether through counselling or coaching.
My Counselling Approach
As a counsellor, I offer safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.
I work from a person-centred perspective, which means our work is guided by what matters most to you. I believe healing begins when you are truly listened to with empathy, respect, and care.
My role is to walk alongside you as you explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
I have a particular understanding of the cultural, family and societal pressures often experienced by South Asian women, while supporting adults from all backgrounds.
Counselling can support you if you are experiencing:
- Anxiety, stress or feeling emotionally overwhelmed
- Bereavement, loss or unresolved grief
- Low mood or depression
- Trauma, abuse or longstanding emotional pain
- Life transitions, identity questions or loss of direction
You do not have to go through this alone. I offer gentle, tailored counselling support to help you explore your thoughts and feelings gain deeper self-understanding and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Reaching out takes courage, if you are reading this you have already taken a meaningful first step towards support.

My Coaching Approach: Empowerment for Every Woman
Alongside counselling, I provide a transformative space for women seeking to reclaim their confidence and purpose. This is for individuals who are stable and looking for a structured, pro-active approach to personal and professional growth. This is not a substitute for therapy.
While I specialise in the unique cultural experiences of South Asian women in the UK, my coaching is designed for adults from all backgrounds who are ready to break free from societal expectations and internalised self-doubt.
My approach is holistic and person-centred; whether you are navigating the complexities of heritage and tradition or simply looking to overcome a period of personal stagnation, I offer the tools to help you thrive.
Coaching can provide:
- A safe, non-judgemental environment for adults of all backgrounds, with specialised expertise in the nuances of South Asian family dynamics and identity.
- Clarity to identify the mental blocks whether they are generational patterns or modern stresses that are preventing you from reaching your full potential.
- Flexible online tailored coaching to your unique lifestyle, providing actionable strategies you can implement immediately.
- Learn to navigate relationships and professional spaces with confidence, moving from 'people pleasing' to empowered decision-making.
My role as a coach is to ensure that we do not just look at your future goals, but also respect and understand what bring to the space.
A free, no-obligation call to explore whether counselling or coaching is right for you.
What coaching can support you with
Women's empowerment coaching is future-focused and supportive of growth, clarity and change. Coaching may be right fir you if you are not in acute emotional distress and are ready to work towards personal or life goals.
Coaching offers a reflective, empowering space to help you reconnect with yourself and make intentional, meaningful choices.
Coaching can support you with:
- Building confidence, self-worth and self-belief
- Learning to prioritise yourself, set and maintain boundaries with family, relationships and work
- Navigating identity, sense of purpose and life direction
- Reconnecting with yourself after life transitions or change
- Managing cultural, family or societal expectations
- Strengthening decision-making and personal agency
- Developing emotional resilience and self-trust
- Creating clarity, focus and intentional, meaningful goals for your life
Counselling & Coaching Important Information
I offer two distinct professional services: counselling and coaching. While both services are supportive, they are different in focus and purpose.
Counselling provides emotional and psychological support, helping you explore thoughts, feelings and past or present difficulties in a therapeutic way.
Coaching is non-therapeutic and focuses on personal development, confidence, boundaries and moving forward with clarity and intention.
To ensure support is offered ethically and appropriately, all clients are invited to book a 60-minute initial assessment, where we will explore your needs and decide whether counselling or coaching is the most suitable option. In some cases, counselling may be recommended before coaching.
