Farihah Hafeez Rizvi

About me

I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your difficulties and re-discover strengths.

I work collaboratively with my clients and view them as experts in their own lived experiences.

I can support you to develop a deeper understanding of your challenges and to see where you can take control again.

My approach ensures that therapy is tailored to you, empowering you to live a more valued life. I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist, with a longstanding career within the NHS.

With a deep understanding of both physical and psychological challenges, I support individuals facing a diverse range of difficulties. I have extensive experience working with PTSD, childhood traumas, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety and health anxiety.

Additionally, I have specialised knowledge in supporting clients with long-term physical health conditions and understand the significant impact on psychological well-being. I also bring additional expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT).

Clients tell me they are able to view their difficulties from a fresh perspective and uncover new possibilities for change. As an accredited CBT therapist with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), I also provide training and supervision within the NHS.

I also act as Lead for Long-Term Conditions (LTC) and supervise trainee CBT therapists, contributing to the professional development of others in the field. With a dedication to lifelong learning, I like to stay up to date with the latest developments in therapeutic techniques and strive to offer the most effective methods to my clients.

I am passionate about helping individuals move towards the life they most desire.

Therapy can do so much benefit and I hope you experience this.
