About Farhaana
Farhaana Hanif is a counsellor who trained in person-centred practice and holds BACP registration. She has three years of experience in the social care sector and supports people through stress, anxiety, grief and other hard moments. She offers a calm, warm space where clients can be heard and work through what feels heavy.
Farhaana meets people at their own pace. She aims to help clients untangle difficult emotions and find practical ways to cope. Sessions are described as grounding and gently challenging, helping people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her work often focuses on depression, burnout and life changes. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, and those who feel overwhelmed by anxiety. Farhaana pays attention to relationship questions, boundaries and communication problems as part of emotional recovery.
In sessions she follows a person-centred, collaborative approach. Clients lead the conversation while she offers empathic listening and respectful reflection. The aim is to build calm, clarity and confidence over time rather than to rush solutions.
She also supports people facing a range of additional concerns, including caregiver stress, body image worries, chronic illness and the effects of past abandonment. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she invites you to take small steps and will walk alongside you as you make sense of things.
Approaches that guide online work
Farhaana uses person-centred ways of working that focus on empathic listening and following what matters most to the client. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings like anxiety, depression or grief.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognise unhelpful patterns and develop clearer ways of coping. These techniques can include looking at how thoughts and behaviours interact and practising small changes that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Farhaana will discuss different options with each person and decide together what fits best with their goals and preferences. That collaboration means the plan can change as needs evolve.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since these are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering options that suit quieter surroundings or less screen time. Registered and accredited professionals can tailor sessions to practical needs while helping clients make steady progress.
