About Hajran
Hajran Khan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and the pressures that come with career or family change. She speaks English and works with people from different countries via online sessions.
Hajran uses a narrative view that treats each person as the expert of their own life story. She helps clients separate problems from identity so difficult events stop defining them.
Background and approach
That often makes it easier to see choices and small steps forward. She combines narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques. In sessions she supports people to notice unhelpful thinking, try small behaviour changes and reconnect with personal values.
This mix aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming. Her work also draws on attachment-informed perspectives and a client-centred stance. That means she pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and keeps the focus on the person in front of her.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to what the client can manage. Hajran has helped people with grief, trauma, relationship or intimacy issues, addictions, parenting stress, ADHD and long-term health concerns. She encourages gentle curiosity, practical experiments and steady momentum toward goals.
Taking a first step can feel hard and she acknowledges that courage openly.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Hajran often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and re-author the stories that hold them back. This approach can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns or the effects of grief.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. That can suit people dealing with anxiety, stress or life transitions. Alongside these, attachment-informed ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Hajran approaches therapy as a collaboration and will help you test which methods suit your goals and preferences over time. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan as you go.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility around work, family and time zones. Phone calls can be a quick check-in, video lets you see facial cues, and messaging can suit shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options are intended to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into a busy life.
