About Tahira
Tahira Hussain works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and a wide range of related concerns. She uses a client-led style that draws on several therapeutic approaches and focuses on practical goals and clearer ways forward. Tahira is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience in private practice, digital services and specialist domestic abuse organisations.
She helps adults and young adults who are dealing with panic, phobias, obsessive-compulsive patterns, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career pressures, intimacy issues and the effects of sexual assault or domestic violence. Tahira offers work on coping with life changes, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD-related concerns and seasonal mood shifts.
Her practice combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions. She uses assessment and formulation to identify priorities, then works toward outcome-focused interventions. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills.
Tahira has experience in safeguarding and risk management from her roles in specialist services. That background informs careful assessment and planning during therapeutic work. She also brings experience of working with multicultural concerns and multilingual clients.
Sessions are delivered in English, Punjabi and Urdu. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Tahira uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work and focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the client; it helps with building self-awareness and clarifying values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on working safely through traumatic memories and their effects, with an emphasis on stabilisation and gradual processing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Tahira will discuss different methods with each client and agree a plan based on their goals, current needs and personal preferences. This collaborative approach means the therapy can shift if something else seems more helpful.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Different session styles can suit different needs, so confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to continue focused therapeutic work that aligns with in-person methods.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
