Fauzia Hoque, BACP

Fauzia Hoque is a BACP counsellor who works using a person-centred approach combined with practical tools. She aims to help people talk through anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, and feelings around identity. Fauzia writes simply and listens carefully to what matters most to each person. She has nine years of experience working with individuals facing a wide range of issues. That experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, substance misuse, mood difficulties and self-esteem struggles. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, intimacy issues and the challenges of life changes. Alongside her independent work, Fauzia has worked in a secondary school setting where she used play and art-based ways to help young people express themselves. She uses art in adult work too when words are hard to find, helping people explore feelings without forcing them into language they do not have yet. Her sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to suit different needs. Sessions are practical and paced to the client, with space to reflect and try new ways of coping. Fauzia aims to support people dealing with jealousy and attachment worries among other concerns. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to use the site's continue button on this profile to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to her availability.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. It gives space for the client to lead conversations while the counsellor reflects what is said, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach can help with relationship worries, self-esteem and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing strong emotions or behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues that matter most, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions can change over time as priorities shift, and the client helps steer which tools are most helpful.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which makes it easier to keep regular contact. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online help that is focused and goal oriented, with sessions arranged to suit everyday life and routines.
