About Hiba

Hiba Choksy is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. Hiba focuses on helping people name what is difficult and take small steps forward at their own pace.

She believes people hold knowledge about their own lives and draws on that in sessions. Conversations are client-led and aim to clarify what matters most to the individual. Hiba encourages straightforward feedback so the work can change if it is not helping.

Sessions include practical discussion of current problems and simple strategies to manage overwhelming feelings. She pays attention to cultural background and how family history can affect how someone feels now. Hiba also supports people facing parenting strain, relationship communication problems and body image concerns.

She has worked with a wide range of life challenges including abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family stress, caregiving strain, eating and food-related issues, and the emotional effects of serious illness. Hiba is familiar with difficult personality and coping patterns such as dependent and antisocial traits, and codependency.

People who choose her usually want an open, direct way to talk through immediate problems and plan next steps. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens without directing goals and helps people name their priorities. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting strain and for working through life changes where the client knows what they want to address.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Hiba will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust the approach based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps decide how sessions are run and what to try next.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or to choose audio-only if someone prefers not to be on camera. Please confirm the current session formats offered before booking so you know how your appointments will be arranged.
