Fauzia Hoque, BACP

Fauzia Hoque is a Person Centred counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people feel steadier. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries. Fauzia also supports those facing addiction, trauma and identity concerns, and people seeking help with sleep, eating or self-esteem. She has nine years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted here as BACP. In addition to private practice, she works in a secondary school where she uses play and art to help young people express themselves when words are hard to find. That work informs how she tailors sessions for adults too. Fauzia uses a mix of approaches depending on what each person needs. Sessions often draw on client-centred listening, practical cognitive work, mindfulness and short-term solution-focused techniques. She aims to create a warm space where people can try small changes to daily habits and thought patterns. People come to her with a wide range of concerns, including career pressures, ADHD, bereavement, intimacy issues and coping with major life changes. Fauzia pays attention to how everyday routines and thinking styles affect mood and relationships. She will work alongside someone to identify simple, manageable steps forward. If someone wants to begin, the usual route is to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability. Fauzia works in the United Kingdom and offers consultations in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Person Centred Therapy is based on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathic attention and reflective responses to help people make sense of their thoughts, habits and feelings. This approach is useful for people who want a respectful space to talk about life stress, grief or identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out small behavioural changes. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and some stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping with strong feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online working include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer journeys to appointments. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how sessions will take place. Many people find remote sessions help them practise changes in real life between meetings while keeping therapy manageable alongside daily commitments.
