About Farzana

Farzana Iqbal is a BACP registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes, and she lists related concerns such as anger and career pressures. Sessions are held in English and she accepts international clients.

Farzana offers straightforward, down-to-earth counselling where people can talk openly. She focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her and avoids quick fixes. Conversations tend to be practical and paced to the client's needs.

In sessions she helps people uncover what lies beneath surface feelings. That can mean looking at family of origin issues, attachment concerns, feelings of emptiness, or problems around money and life purpose. She also supports people facing specific challenges such as cancer, fertility issues, divorce and separation, and end-of-life concerns.

Her work draws on client-centred and solution-focused ideas. That means listening first, then helping the client identify small, achievable steps forward. Practical coping strategies and short-term goals often feature alongside deeper reflection.

Farzana describes her manner as gentle and human. New clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and asked to schedule a first session when ready. Fees vary by location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and priorities so the person feels heard and clearer about next steps. This approach tends to help people working through anxiety, grief and family-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, short-term steps. Sessions aim to identify small changes that can make daily life easier and build on existing strengths. This can suit people who want to test manageable coping strategies between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Farzana will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting as things change. Clients can expect the therapist to listen first, suggest possible techniques, and check in about how those ideas are working. Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible scheduling to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding extra strain.
