About Faaizah
Faaizah Hussain is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship strain, eating and parenting concerns. Her work also covers career questions, depression, and coping with major life changes.
She has worked in several settings, supporting both teens and adults with anxiety, identity questions, and self-esteem difficulties. She has helped people process grief, unpack layers of emotional abuse, and manage overwhelming feelings. She offers practical ways to approach difficult moments rather than only talking about them.
Faaizah uses a person-centred stance and trauma-informed ideas alongside creative practices. That means sessions tend to focus on the person’s own story, strengths, and practical next steps. She aims to help clients notice patterns and try small changes that feel manageable.
People often bring issues such as attachment worries, body image problems, communication breakdowns, separation or divorce, and family problems. She also works with immigration-related stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
The first session looks at what matters most right now and what a realistic next step would be. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients can be supported. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Faaizah draws on person-centred work that keeps the client’s experience central. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what’s been said, and helping people notice their own strengths and choices. It can help with low self-esteem, decision making, and rebuilding confidence after hard experiences.She also uses trauma-informed ideas to guide sessions with people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming distress. Trauma-informed work pays attention to how past experiences affect current feelings and reactions, and it aims to make progress in small, manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means practical options can be adjusted as the work continues rather than fixed at the start.
