More about Farzana

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a licensed and experienced UK therapist and have been working as a senior therapist for over ten years. I provide a person centred, non judgemental, empathic and safe space for clients to explore and share their trauma, feelings, thoughts and emotions. If you are looking for a uniques therapist with experience and expertise, I can help. My expertise enables me to work with an extensive range of clients and issues, including relationship issues, divorce, domestic violence, narcissism, depression and anxiety, sexual abuse, self esteem and confidence issues, loss, bereavement, stress, terminal illness diagnosis, addiction, confidence issues, abuse, and trauma. I use a client focused approach which gives clients a chance to see what works for them, allows them to feel empowered and look at what they want to achieve from therapy. I provide empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard, and I work in a culturally sensitive way. In addition to this, I work with neurodiverse clients including those with ADHD, ADD and ASD, and have been doing so for almost a decade, supporting those who struggle with neurodivergency to have a safe space to talk and become empowered and confident. I also offer therapy in Urdu and Punjabi.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
