About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation difficulties.

Her approach is person-centred and conversational. She adapts sessions to what the individual brings and focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms.

Faha’s background includes substantial work with relationship issues, and she can offer support related to couples concerns. She also works with people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family challenges, abandonment and commitment worries, and communication problems.
People consult her about career stress, life transitions, and coping after loss. She has experience addressing compassion fatigue and caregiver stress, and supporting those affected by domestic violence or separation. Her practice also covers body image, codependency, control issues and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients are invited to use the service’s matching process to select online therapy options and to schedule an initial appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Faha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical coping skills. One approach she commonly uses looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours to help reduce anxiety and low mood; it helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Another approach emphasises exploring past experiences and how they affect current relationships and reactions; this can be useful for trauma, abandonment issues and difficulties with trust or closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try methods that suit the person’s needs. That way the approach can be adjusted over time if something isn’t helping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest a session pattern that fits study, shift work or early-career schedules.
