My Approach & Values

I am committed to creating a confidential, caring and comfortable environment for collaborative work. Building a safe holding space and trusting relationship of equals is of central importance. My manner is empathic, warm and respectful. As such, I invite clients to embark on the often demanding but hugely rewarding work of counselling and psychotherapy.

"Rifat made me feel really comfortable in our sessions and helped me to think about myself in a way that really worked for me, with immediate impact in my day to day life. She is warm and encouraging and I feel able to be surprisingly open with her. Of multiple therapists I have had over the years this has been my best experience."
