About Farhaana
Farhaana Hanif is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Farhaana draws on person-centred practice. She listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace. Sessions are about naming what feels heavy and finding small, practical steps forward.
She has experience in the social care sector and has supported people through emotional exhaustion and burnout. That background shapes how she notices signs of overwhelm and plans thoughtful next steps with each person.
Common themes she helps with include relationship questions, boundary difficulties, grief, and reactions to past experiences. She also works with issues such as body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and feelings of emptiness.
In the room she prefers a collaborative style. Clients are invited to lead the conversation while she offers reflections and practical tools. Therapy is presented as a steady process rather than a quick fix.
She encourages people who are hesitant to start by describing initial steps and what to expect. Before booking, readers should confirm the therapist's current session options and scheduling method.
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Farhaana uses person-centred practice which focuses on active listening, gentle reflection and letting the client guide the pace. This approach helps people clarify feelings, think through difficult choices and build self-trust over time.She also draws on established therapeutic techniques that provide practical tools for managing stress and anxiety. These techniques often involve small, repeatable exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan together as work progresses.
For session logistics, confirm the therapist's current online options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, for example by allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or removing travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower video use if that feels less demanding. Registered or accredited professionals can guide which arrangements will best support your needs.
