About Farhaana

Farhaana Hanif is a person-centred counsellor who draws on three years of experience in social care. She works from a calm, compassionate stance and creates space for people to be heard without judgement. Farhaana lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, on her profile.

She focuses on common and distressing issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also helps people cope with big life changes and the daily weight of feeling overwhelmed.

Background and approach

Sessions are aimed at helping people make sense of what feels heavy and to reconnect with their own emotional strengths. Farhaana uses a person-centred, collaborative style. The client leads the pace and topic, and she supports that work with empathy and practical reflection.

Her approach is steady and grounding, with an emphasis on gentleness and respect for each person’s rhythm. In conversation she pays attention to patterns that cause distress and to small, practical steps that can ease day-to-day strain. She helps people name emotions, try out new responses, and build clearer boundaries when needed.

The work is practical and relational rather than a quick fix. People who come to her can expect a warm, non-judgemental room where feeling seen matters. Farhaana supports adults through challenges such as caregiver stress, body image concerns, chronic illness, communication problems and feelings of emptiness.

She aims to help people find calm, clarity and a greater sense of control.

Everything Farhaana lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Person-centred counselling puts your experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and follows your lead, helping you name feelings and decide what to tackle next. This approach works well for anxiety, depression and grieving because it creates a steady, accepting space to speak about what matters.

She also uses practical steps in sessions to help with day-to-day coping. That can include noticing patterns that cause stress, trying small experiments in how you respond, and building clearer boundaries. These hands-on strategies are useful for burnout, communication problems and managing chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is determined together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to fit your goals, needs and preferences, so the plan feels collaborative rather than imposed.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when a lower bandwidth option is needed, and messaging or live chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or limited mobility while keeping the focus on steady, practical support from a registered or accredited professional.
