About Me
Rabina Khan
Hello and welcome, my name is Rabina. I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor dedicated to supporting adults, children and young people across the U.K through secure online therapy.
I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. If you have found your way here, you have already taken a brave first step.
Before training as a counsellor, I worked in NHS dentistry for over 20 years as a senior dental nurse. During that time, I cared for people on moments of anxiety, pain and vulnerability. It taught me the importance of listening with empathy and treating people as whole individuals, not just a set of symptoms or issues.
Over time, the system I worked became more focused on targets and business outcomes, and less about the people we were meant to care for. That shift made me reflect deeply as it did not align with my own values, which ultimately led me to counselling. I wanted to support people in a way that felt human, meaningful and healing.
My journey into counselling was driven by a passion for helping people move through life’s most difficult and painful experiences from bereavement, trauma, to anxiety, low self-esteem, and being emotionally overwhelmed.
