About

About Fauzia

Fauzia Hoque is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. She draws on different methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. Fauzia has nine years of practice and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her professional work.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to identity including LGBT matters.

Background and approach

Practical topics such as career pressures, self-esteem and coping with life changes are included too. Her sessions often involve talking, but she also uses creative ways to communicate when words are hard to find. Art and play are part of her work, and she uses these approaches with those who find expression through drawing or movement more natural.

Fauzia works in both independent practice and in a secondary school setting. That experience means she can adapt her style for different ages and needs, and she is comfortable mixing conversational counselling with activity-based ways of working. Her approach is collaborative and flexible.

She aims to build a trusting relationship and to tailor practical steps that suit each person. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the practice process.

Online support

How core approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship so people can make sense of their feelings. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns by making space for the client's experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and then tries small, practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress and some mood difficulties to teach coping skills and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking.

Mindfulness Therapy uses short exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. It can help with anxiety, sleeplessness and racing thoughts by training gentler attention to the body and breath.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try out approaches together. That way sessions are shaped by what actually helps the person over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time so therapy can slot into a break at work or after commitments. If you want to know which session formats are offered now, please confirm the current options before booking so you can choose what fits your routine.
