About Farhaana

Farhaana Hanif works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes using a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience in the social care sector.

Farhaana is known as Fee in her practice and focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by emotions. She listens without judgement and lets clients set the pace of sessions. The aim is to help people name what feels heavy and to find practical ways to manage day-to-day strain.

Her background is in social care, where she supported people across different ages and situations. That work gave her experience with issues such as burnout, decision fatigue and relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns linked to trauma, grief and depression.

In sessions she uses a collaborative, person-centred style. Clients lead the conversation and Farhaana offers reflection and gentle challenge to help clarify patterns. She helps people discover coping tools that can reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

She also works with a wider range of focus areas including body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication and commitment issues. If practical next steps are needed, she supports clients to identify them and try small changes between meetings.

To begin, people complete an online questionnaire and arrange a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How therapeutic approaches translate to remote work

Person-centred practice focuses on listening and reflection. The counsellor follows what the client brings and uses questions and summaries to help people make sense of feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions by giving space to explore what matters most.

Person-centred work is often combined with practical coping tools. These are simple strategies for managing stress, planning small changes and improving day-to-day routine. Such techniques can support people dealing with burnout, grief or ongoing low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor will work together with the client to decide what helps most. They will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adapt as needs change so sessions remain relevant and useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote sessions that focus on practical coping, emotional reflection and planning next steps to fit everyday life.
