About Faaizah
Faaizah Hussain is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She helps clients manage low self-esteem, relationship strains, eating and career concerns, and the general pressures that come with life transitions and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes work in a range of settings where she supported adults and young people with anxiety, identity questions, grief and trauma. She has experience addressing the effects of abuse, emotional overwhelm and the knock-on impact these issues can have on daily life and motivation.
Faaizah uses a person-centred way of working that draws on trauma-informed practices and creative techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about what feels hard, rather than jargon. She aims to help people notice strengths and build steady routines that fit their lives.
She also works on specific concerns such as body image, attachment issues, communication difficulties, separation and domestic violence effects. Other areas she supports include guilt and shame, loneliness, immigration-related stress and end-of-life related concerns.
Faaizah accepts international clients and runs her practice through The Golden Thread Therapy. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Faaizah draws on person-centred work and trauma-informed methods, and she includes creative techniques in sessions. Person-centred work means focusing on what the client notices and values, helping them speak about what matters and identify small next steps. Trauma-informed work pays attention to the impact of past harm and aims to keep pace manageable while building practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and current needs, adjusting the focus as progress is made. This process is shared and reviewed rather than fixed from the start.
The therapist's biography does not list which session formats are currently used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and travel by removing commute time and allowing appointments from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits someone’s routine or bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can offer this flexibility to help therapy fit everyday life.
