Dr. Rifat Jahan

With extensive experience in general practice, I deeply understand the complexities of life and relationships on a personal level. I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from a safe space to explore their challenges and foster emotional growth. My aim is to assist my clients in uncovering their inner wisdom and compassion, enabling them to take informed steps to reduce suffering and enhance relationships.

As an experienced GP, I specialize in counselling individuals (Teenagers and adults), couples, and families. Over the years, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the whole person—both mind and body. My special interests include:

Social Anxiety and Generalized Anxiety: Offering strategies to manage and overcome anxiety.

Depressive Disorders: Assisting individuals in managing depression and improving their quality of life.

Carer’s Mental Health: Supporting those who care for others, ensuring they maintain their own well-being.

Chronic Conditions: Helping individuals cope with and manage chronic health issues.

Couple Therapy: Helping couples navigate relationship challenges and improve their connection.

Weight Management: Combining counselling with lifestyle medicine to support healthy weight management.

Relationship Breakdown: Providing support through separation and divorce.

My approach is holistic, considering both the mind and body. I believe in addressing physical health, lifestyle, and social circumstances alongside mental health to provide effective and comprehensive care. Through tailored psychotherapy sessions, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, I offer a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and work through their challenges.
