About Fauzia
Fauzia Hoque is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions and identity issues. She supports people dealing with career pressure, LGBT matters, intimacy and family-related worries. Sessions also address eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and ADHD related concerns.
In practice she uses a person-centred stance, listening for what matters most to each person and responding in a direct, respectful way. Fauzia adapts methods from cognitive behavioural approaches, mindfulness and solution-focused work to suit practical goals. That means conversations often move between understanding feelings, noticing patterns and trying small, tested changes between sessions.
Her background includes private practice work alongside experience in a secondary school setting where play and art-based approaches are used to help expression when words are hard to find. She describes art as a tool to communicate experiences and feelings that might otherwise be difficult to talk about. This translates into adult work where creative ways of thinking can unlock stuck problems.
Fauzia aims to work collaboratively, helping people set clear, manageable steps for change. She draws on different models and clinical skills to create sessions that focus on what the person wants to achieve. If someone is unsure how to start, she asks about current struggles and what a first useful step would look like.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered from the UK. For details on how to begin, prospective clients are invited to use the site's online options to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches work online
Fauzia combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural methods look at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and are useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice stress and regulate emotion, which can help with sleep, anger and intrusive thinking.Finding the right mix is part of the first sessions. Fauzia works collaboratively to identify goals and to choose approaches that fit the person's needs and preferences. She will discuss which methods to try and review progress together, making adjustments as needed.
The practical arrangements for online sessions are not specified in her profile, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts or short breaks during the day. It can also reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals such as counsellors often adapt exercises so they work over a screen or phone and suggest simple between-session tasks to practise in daily life.
