About Fauzia

Fauzia Hoque is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns.

She uses person-centred (client-centred) methods as the foundation of her work. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. Fauzia also uses practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused work when these suit a persons goals.

Her background includes private practice and work in a secondary school setting. There she has supported pupils using play-based methods to help them express difficult feelings. Fauzia also uses art-based approaches with adults and young people when talking feels hard.

In sessions she attends to everyday problems such as eating and sleeping issues, addictions, self-esteem, career stress and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with identity questions, intimacy concerns and complications linked to adoption, attachment or blended family arrangements.

She blends listening with practical tools. That may mean learning simple CBT skills, trying mindfulness exercises, or setting small, achievable steps between sessions. The aim is to help people manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning in ways that make sense for them.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Fauzia uses client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy online in ways that mirror in-person sessions. Client-centred therapy means a focus on careful listening and reflection, helping people name their experience and choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical skills to notice thought patterns and try small behavioural changes to reduce distress.

She also uses mindfulness exercises to help with stress and anxiety, teaching short practices that can be done between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the persons needs, adjusting the plan as progress is seen.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example, a shorter check-in at lunchtime, or a session without travel when time is tight. It can also allow the use of simple homework tools, guided mindfulness recordings and worksheet work shared during or after sessions to support progress.
