Hiba Choksy , BACP

Hiba Choksy is a counsellor who focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, ADHD and bipolar concerns. She presents as a calm and encouraging presence and aims to help people build on their strengths. She works from the view that clients know their own story and can take the lead in change. Hiba uses a steady, respectful approach so people can move at their own pace.

Her way of working is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person rather than a fixed programme. Hiba listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help clients make sense of their feelings. Conversations are practical and straightforward, with attention to small steps that can make daily life easier.

Hiba brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She pays attention to cultural background and how family patterns can shape behaviour and expectations. That perspective informs how she talks about issues such as attachment, abandonment and blended family concerns.

In sessions she addresses a wide range of additional concerns including body image, eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, communication problems and coping after divorce or separation. The approach is collaborative - the client sets goals and Hiba supports problem solving and gradual change.

People can expect clear, gentle feedback and space to try out different ways of coping. Hiba aims to help people feel more confident in day-to-day life and better able to manage changes and challenges.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, listening approach where the counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them feel heard. This helps when someone is dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting stress or major life changes because the conversation is guided by the client's priorities and pace.

In practice that means sessions are built around the client’s concerns rather than a fixed treatment plan. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental feedback to support insight and small changes. Decisions about focus and goals are made together so the therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or those who find typing easier. These options give flexibility for different routines and comfort levels, and the counsellor can help decide which format is the best fit during the first conversations.
