Clinical Experience in Counselling

Hello. My name is Rabina Akhtar. I am a UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I assist people to define problems and help them explore what to do next. My private Counselling service is located in Peterborough.

I have been a UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor since October 2011 so I have over 1 year and 7 months of post-registration knowledge of working with clients. In addition, I gained experience of working with clients as part of my training. I work with Individuals. I am highly experienced in providing Counselling to people from different backgrounds and cultures, and helping with the particular issues they face.

What to Expect during Counselling

After an initial assessment in Peterborough, there is no obligation to continue if you decide not to. As Client and Therapist, we may use the safe space to explore the current issues for which you are considering Counselling. I will discuss confidentiality with you and address any questions you may have. We can see how well we work together. You and I will then be able to ascertain if my Counselling practice is appropriate for you.

The aim of my Counselling practice is to attend to what brings you to therapy in a confidential and focused environment, concentrate on your concerns so you feel heard, respected and supported, develop your insight of your thoughts and how they may increase or decrease your symptoms and tailor therapy to you and your needs. To get the most from Counselling you will need to be able to be open to change, participate, speak openly with me and reflect and work collaboratively.

As a UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I am trained and experienced in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Integrative Therapy and Person Centred Therapy to work with people to address the causes of problems and reduce symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and build up the skills to resolve them. Generally 6 to 12 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Integrative Therapy

Integrative Therapy involves using more than one therapeutic approach. Generally 6 to 20 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Person Centred Therapy

Person Centred therapy focuses on the providing the therapeutic conditions such as empathy, congruence, unconditional positive regard to facilitate the relationship and provide the conditions for change (if desired). Generally 6 to 20 sessions: depends on issue and other factors.

Clinical Qualifications in Counselling

  • UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor since October 2011
  • BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling - Middlesex University (UK) 2011

I am committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in Counselling. I abide by the Code of Ethics of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Code of Ethics of the Matrix College of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MCCP) Hethersett.
