Fauzia Hoque , BACP

Fauzia Hoque offers a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of each conversation. She uses straightforward talk, listening, and gentle guidance to help people understand what matters to them now. Sessions aim to be warm and respectful so people feel able to say what they struggle with.

Fauzia has nine years' experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy difficulties, and issues related to gender and LGBT matters. She also works with people facing eating or sleeping problems, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career challenges.

Her background includes private practice and work in a secondary school where she used play therapy and art as ways to help people express thoughts and feelings that can be hard to put into words. Those creative methods are offered when they suit the person.

Fauzia describes her approach as flexible and holistic. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy along with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques to match a person's needs. Sessions are shaped around each person's pace and goals.

Fauzia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English using a variety of online formats.

Online approaches that focus on listening and steps forward

Fauzia blends person-centred work with methods that give clear tools for everyday problems. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience first, with the counsellor listening deeply and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can help people manage stress and stay present.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fauzia works collaboratively to decide which combination of listening, practical exercises or mindfulness will best match someone’s goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something is not helping or a different focus is needed.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, reflections between sessions or for people who find writing easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for different routines and needs while keeping the therapeutic work consistent.
