My Approach

My practice is grounded in an integrative framework that draws from Transactional Analysis (TA), Gestalt, and Person-Centred approaches. I work relationally and with awareness of ego states and internal dynamics, helping clients gain insight into patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour shaped by early relational experiences.

I blend these modalities with the structured, neuroscience-informed process of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), particularly useful for addressing trauma, attachment wounds, and persistent emotional blocks.

As a certified psychosexual and couples therapist, I also support individuals and partners in navigating intimacy, communication, and relational dynamics with compassion and clarity. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to meet your unique therapeutic goals.

About Me

Mehbuba Khalid – MSc Psych, Dip. Psych ( clinical), Dip Psych (Counselling), MBACP, UKCP
Humanistic Psychotherapist | Certified Psychosexual & Couples Therapist.

I am a Humanistic Psychotherapist with additional certification in Psychosexual and Couples Therapy and EMDR. I offer both in-person and online therapy for individuals and couples, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore a wide range of emotional and relational challenges.

My practice integrates trauma-focused therapy using EMDR, as well as support for issues such as loss, abuse, depression, anxiety, addiction, and intimacy. I take a relational and integrative approach—drawing on Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Person-Centred Therapy—tailoring each session to meet the unique needs and goals of the client.

Rooted in a humanistic and integrative perspective, my work encourages clients to define their experiences on their own terms. While diagnostic labels can provide understanding, they can also restrict growth. Together, we will explore the deeper layers of your inner world—including the internal family of ego states shaped by early experiences and relational dynamics—to foster healing and personal transformation.

I believe that meaningful change is always possible, and I am here to support you in navigating toward greater resilience, clarity, and self-discovery.

Let’s work together to create a life that aligns with your most authentic self.
