About Farhaana
Farhaana Hanif is a BACP counsellor who brings three years of experience from the social care sector. She offers a calm, person-centred approach that helps people make sense of overwhelm. Sessions aim to let you be heard and to build practical ways of coping with whatever feels heavy right now.
She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include relationship and communication difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and concerns linked to personality and attachment. These are explored at a pace that suits the client.
Her style is warm and collaborative. The client leads the conversation while she listens and reflects back what matters most. That steady presence is intended to help people untangle difficult feelings and begin to find small shifts that make daily life easier.
Therapy with her often involves developing simple tools for calm and clarity. Conversations may highlight patterns, boundaries and choices you can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than a quick fix.
People looking for support in the United Kingdom can expect straightforward, practical sessions that focus on emotional recovery and wellbeing at work and beyond. If you are unsure where to begin, she asks simple questions to shape a plan that fits your goals and circumstances.
How her approaches translate to online support
Her person-centred approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping you name what matters. This method is about following your pace and using conversations to clarify feelings and priorities, which can be helpful for stress, grief and life changes.She also uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping tools. These techniques involve identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small, manageable actions between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods suit your needs and goals, and adapts them as you go along so they fit your preferences and pace.
Confirm the formats available with the therapist before booking, as the biography does not specify session types. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose sessions that suit their energy levels, for example using a quieter, less intense meeting when concentration is low. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online support that mirrors the focus of face-to-face work while helping you bring therapeutic changes into everyday life.
