About Mehbuba
Mehbuba Khalid offers calm, straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, trauma, low mood, or difficulties with intimacy and self-worth. She speaks English, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu and aims to make sessions feel approachable and practical. Her style suits people who want to talk things through and try tools that help day-to-day life.
Mehbuba uses a mix of relationship-focused and trauma-aware methods. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships.
Background and approach
She uses narrative ideas to help people make sense of painful stories and notice different ways to view themselves. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolbox for working with traumatic memories and intense emotional reactions. Alongside that, she uses client-centred ways of working that focus on what each person wants to get from therapy.
The overall aim is to help people feel steadier, think more clearly, and make choices that fit their values. Mehbuba has five years of clinical experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she lists as her credential. Her background includes clinical practice, supervision of other practitioners, and teaching counselling students.
This mix keeps her approach reflective and informed by ongoing learning. Therapy sessions can address many concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, body image, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Practical steps, gentle exploration of past hurts, and clearer communication strategies are common focuses in her work.

Online support
Approaches that guide online therapy sessions
Mehbuba draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early relationships affect current connections and emotional reactions. This can be useful for those struggling with trust, intimacy or recurring relationship patterns.She also uses Narrative Therapy, which helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That approach supports work on identity, self-esteem and the impact of difficult life events.
EMDR is part of her practice for processing traumatic memories and strong emotional responses. In sessions it involves structured work to reduce the intensity of painful memories and how they affect day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, listen to your goals and suggest methods that match your needs. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical convenience. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or when people prefer writing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and location while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
