About Farzana
Farzana Iqbal is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She writes in a straightforward way and sits with whatever is happening for each person. Talking things through and finding practical steps is central to her work.
She aims to create a space where someone can be honest without feeling judged. Sessions focus on what matters now and on coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. The first meeting is an opportunity to say what feels most urgent and to set a gentle pace.
Farzana uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on the person’s own experience and pace. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to help identify small, practical changes that can make a difference. These approaches guide how she listens and responds rather than promising a fixed outcome.
Her practice supports people dealing with anger, career worries, life changes and relationship-related stress. She can also help with issues linked to abandonment, attachment, body image, fertility concerns, cancer, end-of-life matters and family-of-origin problems. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps and realistic coping techniques.
Farzana has three years of experience as a counsellor and works with people in the United Kingdom. Conversations are held in English and international clients are accepted. If someone is unsure where to start, she encourages a short initial discussion to see whether her style feels right.
How her approaches work online
Farzana uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s own experience, listening carefully and following their lead so they can talk at their own pace. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to find small, practical steps that can improve day-to-day life and build momentum toward a clearer sense of direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working together and decide collaboratively which methods suit someone’s needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable rather than prescriptive.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so it is advisable to confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps, while keeping conversations focused on practical coping and problem-solving. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt sessions to suit quieter times of day, work breaks or international time zones, helping therapy fit around everyday life rather than the other way round.
