About Fauzia

Fauzia Hoque is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationships and grief. Fauzia also supports people facing trauma, addiction, identity questions and neurodiverse concerns such as autism and ADHD.

She has nine years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her practice blends practical talking with creative ways of expressing feelings, such as art activities, when words are hard to find. This can help people say what they mean without feeling pressured to explain everything verbally.

In addition to private practice, Fauzia works in a secondary school setting where she adapts her approach for younger people and uses play-based techniques when that is helpful. Her work emphasises a calm, respectful relationship and meeting each person where they are. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed formula.

Fauzia draws on several therapeutic methods including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She mixes these to suit the person’s goals and pace. The result is a straightforward, practical way to talk through problems and build coping skills.

Parents and adults seeking support can start by using the platform's matching steps to find a good fit. Fauzia encourages questions about the approach and what to expect before arranging the first session.

Step 3

How Fauzia’s approaches translate to online work

Fauzia uses client-centred methods that focus on the person’s needs and experience, creating a space where the client leads the pace and topics of conversation. This approach suits people who want a supportive listener and time to make sense of feelings.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fauzia will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adapts the mix of listening, mindfulness practice and solution-focused techniques as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a brief check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to support continuity of care and to help people practise new skills between meetings.
