About Tahira
Tahira Hussain is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career questions, ADHD and bipolar-related concerns.
She uses a person-centred approach where the relationship shapes the work. That means she listens first and follows the person's pace. From there she brings in other ways of working when useful, such as cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking to make sense of patterns.
Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Tahira uses short-term strategies alongside deeper discussion when needed. She pays attention to safety and risk, and works with people to build coping skills and clearer steps forward.
Her background includes private practice, digital settings and work with specialist domestic abuse services. That range informs how she supports people after trauma, bereavement, separation or abuse. She aims to help clients gain new perspectives and stronger self-awareness.
People can expect collaborative work that balances emotional processing with practical tools. Tahira encourages clients to set goals together and to review progress as therapy continues.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred work begins by focusing on the person's experience and goals. In this way the counsellor listens deeply and follows what the person brings, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers clear tools for changing thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Psychodynamic ideas help map patterns from past experiences that still affect current relationships and choices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Tahira will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to match the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may shift over time as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when schedules are tight, while others use video to see facial cues and work more deeply. Registered or accredited professionals can help choose a format that fits everyday life and responsibilities.
