Halima Butt

I am a dedicated Children’s Counsellor at Barnardo's, where I leverage my extensive training and experience to support young individuals facing mental health challenges. My journey in this field has been enriched by over 300 hours of counselling experience with the Lancashire BME Network, where I honed my cultural competency and developed a deep understanding of the diverse backgrounds of my clients. This experience has equipped me to effectively work with children and young adults, ensuring that I approach each individual with empathy and respect for their unique cultural perspectives.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of clients, from children to older adults, each presenting their own set of challenges. My core therapeutic skills include strong communication, active listening, and empathy, which I combine with a holistic approach to therapy. I believe in prioritizing my clients' well-being and am always self-aware enough to recognize when a situation exceeds my capacity to help. This commitment to my clients is unwavering, and I am always willing to go the extra mile, including offering out-of-hours support when necessary.
