About Fauzia
Fauzia Hoque is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where men and other clients can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship worries and other life challenges. Fauzia holds BACP accreditation and draws on nine years of experience supporting people through loss, trauma, mood problems and addiction.
She uses plain conversation, active listening and creative options such as art to help people find words for difficult feelings. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and aim to help with practical steps, coping strategies and clearer thinking. Fauzia also has experience of supporting gender identity concerns and LGBT matters.
Her background includes work in a secondary school setting where she used play and art to help younger people express themselves. That experience informs her approach with adults, especially when emotions are hard to name. She emphasises building a trusting therapeutic relationship as the basis for change.
Fauzia blends client-centred ways of working with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused therapy to meet the moment-to-moment needs of clients. She is comfortable addressing issues such as grief, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger and relationship conflict.
Practical matters are kept straightforward. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Fauzia uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside mindfulness techniques to support people online. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical ways to test and change unhelpful patterns, useful for stress, depression and some forms of anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Fauzia will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that suit the person. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as things change over time.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking to confirm how she is working at that time. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between meetings to reinforce progress.
