About Sadia
Sadia Khan is a Mental Health Counsellor and Psychotherapist with eight years of experience. She holds the BACP credential, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works from the United Kingdom. She speaks English and Bengali and has lived and practised in several countries, bringing an international perspective to her work.
She keeps sessions focused and practical. Sadia helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through low mood, and handle major life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship stresses, self-esteem concerns and difficulties that stem from family of origin or blended family dynamics.
Sadia uses clear, collaborative conversation to help clients connect the threads of their lives. She asks direct questions when needed and encourages honest reflection. Her style balances gentle curiosity with moments that challenge unhelpful patterns.
Her toolkit includes approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, chosen to suit each person’s goals. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to change, one step at a time.
Originally from Bangladesh, she has lived in Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Singapore before settling in the UK. That background informs her cultural awareness and sensitivity during work with people from varied backgrounds.

How these approaches work online
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses reflective listening and gentle questions to boost motivation for steps such as improving mood, sleep or relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and emotional understanding. The counsellor provides a supportive space where someone can talk things through and gradually gain a clearer sense of what matters to them.
Sadia will work with each person to find the best fit among these approaches. That decision is collaborative and based on the client’s goals, preferences and what feels most useful in early sessions. She adapts her questions and techniques as progress becomes clearer.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online counselling makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, such as avoiding travel, fitting a shorter check-in during a work break, or choosing audio when video isn’t needed. A clear agreement about how sessions will run lets therapy become a practical part of everyday life. -
