About Tahira
Tahira Hussain is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of post-qualification experience. She works with adults and young adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic violence, grief and relationship difficulties. Tahira also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar difficulties, addictions and the stresses that come with life changes.
She has provided therapy in private practice, on digital platforms and within specialist domestic abuse services. That experience includes assessment, risk management and outcome-focused interventions. Her clinical work covers both short-term goals and longer-term healing.
Tahira works in an integrative way and draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. She uses elements from different approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, clarifying goals and building practical ways to manage symptoms.
In sessions she aims to collaborate with the person to make sense of past and present experiences. That includes looking at attachment, family patterns, and how trauma or abuse has affected day-to-day life. Tahira also supports people facing life transitions such as separation, bereavement or career change.
She offers therapy in English, Punjabi and Urdu. People who are interested in starting are asked to use the online matching process to schedule a first appointment and complete a short questionnaire to outline their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Tahira commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help a person make sense of their feelings and values. It helps with issues like identity, relationship worries and feeling overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression, panic and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tahira will discuss goals and preferences together and may combine elements from different methods to suit what someone needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.
