About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation. Sessions address practical problems such as sleep, eating, work pressures and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels hardest in daily life. That might mean looking at patterns in relationships, ways anxiety shows up, or habits that undermine confidence. Faha aims to help people notice small changes that reduce strain and make social situations more manageable.
Her background includes substantial experience supporting people through grief, addiction concerns and compassion fatigue. She also works with issues linked to family of origin, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication problems. The focus often combines current coping strategies with changes to everyday routines.
Faha has worked with people impacted by domestic violence, abandonment and separation, and with those juggling caregiving or cancer-related stress. She brings a practical orientation to these matters and helps people find clearer steps forward.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The cost varies with location and sessions sit behind a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Faha incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people recognise and change the thought and behaviour patterns that keep anxiety and avoidance alive; it teaches step-by-step tasks that make social situations easier to face. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and building coping skills so they interfere less with day-to-day life and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Faha will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on their goals and what feels manageable. This collaborative process lets the counsellor adjust pace and focus as progress is made.
Please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make fitting sessions around work and family commitments easier and cut travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without video when that helps reduce pressure. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format they offer when you book.
