About Faaizah
Counsellor and BACP member Faaizah Hussain has three years of practice in the United Kingdom helping people with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and confidence issues. She works with adults on relationship problems, self-esteem, eating and career concerns, and supports people coping with major life changes and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is person-centred and trauma-informed. She uses creative techniques alongside conversation to help people notice their strengths and make small changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Faaizah has worked in several settings and has experience supporting people through abuse, identity questions, and bereavement. She also addresses attachment issues, body image, communication problems and the effects of separation and divorce.
Her work includes support for those dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, immigration challenges, end-of-life or hospice concerns, and questions about life purpose. She helps people examine eating and food-related issues and the emotional drivers behind them.
Faaizah sees the person as the expert in their own life and focuses on building confidence, motivation and coping skills. People who want a conversational, practical way to make changes and manage difficult feelings may find her approach useful.
Working with evidence-based approaches online
Faaizah uses person-centred work alongside trauma-informed practices. Person-centred work involves open conversation that focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to build confidence and motivation.Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to how past harm affects present feelings and reactions. This helps when someone brings trauma, abuse or strong emotional overwhelm and needs steady, manageable steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Faaizah will talk with each person about what feels helpful and adapt sessions to fit their needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together rather than imposed by the therapist.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used. Please confirm available formats before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into work and home life, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people take part without being on camera if they prefer a phone call or an audio session, though specific options should be checked in advance.
