About Faaizah

Faaizah Hussain is a BACP counsellor who focuses on work and wellbeing and emotional health. She offers warm, person-centred support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or major life changes. Her approach aims to help clients notice and use their existing strengths to move forward.

With three years of professional experience, she has worked in varied settings supporting adults and teens through trauma, grief and relationship issues. She also helps with confidence, motivation and those persistent feelings of imposter syndrome that affect work and self-worth.

Sessions draw on trauma-informed thinking and creative methods to make difficult topics easier to talk about. The therapy room is described as non-judgmental and calm, with a focus on what matters most to each person. Practical steps and reflective work are used together to build resilience.

Faaizah also addresses a wide range of concerns related to life and work, including parenting strain, career decisions, body image and compassion fatigue. She is interested in how attachment and communication patterns shape relationships and daily wellbeing.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Faaizah draws on trauma-informed ways of working that focus on safety and pacing. This approach means noticing how past distress shows up now and taking small, steady steps to process difficult memories or feelings. It is often used when people are coping with abuse, overwhelming stress or grief.

She also uses person-centred methods that prioritise each person's choices and pace. This style helps when the goal is to build confidence, clarify values, or work through life and career decisions by following what matters most to the client.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. She will discuss different options with clients and together decide what suits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative approach helps shape the length and focus of sessions as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they move location or need to arrange appointments across time zones.
