About Farzana
Farzana Iqbal is a BACP counsellor who provides calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She speaks plainly and makes space for honest conversation about stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Her way of working aims to be steady and non-judgemental so people can begin to make sense of what they are facing.
Farzana keeps sessions down-to-earth and focused on what matters to each person. She listens to what is happening now and helps uncover what might be driving painful feelings. The goal is to find small, manageable steps that fit day-to-day life rather than push for quick fixes.
Her approach draws on client-centred ideas, which put the person’s experience at the heart of the work. She also uses solution-focused techniques to name immediate goals and try practical strategies that can be tested between sessions. These methods are used to address anxiety, stress, anger and relationship concerns among other issues.
With three years of professional experience, Farzana offers a gentle style intended to reduce shame and isolation. She often works on themes such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, family of origin problems and life purpose. People also bring concerns around fertility, bereavement, career change and financial stress.
Reaching out usually begins with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session. Farzana aims to move at the client’s pace while helping them build clearer ways to cope and take next steps.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood. It helps people who are struggling with emotions like grief, anxiety or emptiness to find their own way forward. Solution-Focused Therapy looks at what is already working and builds short-term, practical steps to reach clear goals. This is useful for tackling specific problems such as panic, stress or career decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean more towards listening, practical exercises or a mix of both.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time and try shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people living abroad to work with therapists registered or accredited in the United Kingdom, subject to any practical arrangements discussed at booking.
