About Fauzia
Fauzia Hoque is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses that focus to help people feel heard and to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships and phobias. Fauzia holds BACP accreditation and has nine years of experience in counselling people across a wide range of difficulties.
Her work is straightforward and practical. Sessions often begin by listening to what matters most and setting a small, achievable goal.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas when helpful to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to find realistic steps forward. Fauzia also brings mindfulness and creative options into sessions. Drawing or simple art activities are sometimes used to help people express things that are hard to say.
Mindfulness exercises are offered to manage racing thoughts, low mood or sleep problems. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma, abuse, addiction and loss. That experience also includes work with issues around gender identity, body image and intimacy-related concerns.
Fauzia adapts her approach to suit each person rather than using one fixed method. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How online counselling uses person-centred and CBT methods
The person-centred approach focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It helps people feel accepted and guides conversations about what matters most, such as relationship worries, grief or anxiety.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It is practical and suits issues like anxiety, low mood, phobias and sleep difficulties by teaching small steps and coping strategies.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and help with stress or sleeplessness. These techniques are often short practices you can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively during early sessions.
Online sessions come in different formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is low, chat and messaging suit brief check-ins and written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel without losing continuity of care.
