Fauzia Hoque, BACP

Fauzia Hoque is a Person Centred counsellor who focuses on helping people with stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy-related issues. She uses an open, respectful style so people can talk about difficult experiences. Fauzia has nine years of practice and holds BACP registration, which she keeps as part of her professional standing in the United Kingdom.

Fauzia works with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBT issues, grief and eating or sleeping difficulties. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, career strain and big life changes. Intimacy-related problems and relationship strain are among the areas she addresses in sessions.

In the counselling room she adapts methods to each person. Her practice draws on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused work. That mix helps with practical coping, noticing patterns, and setting short-term goals together.

Beyond private practice she also works in a secondary school using play and art-based approaches with younger clients. Fauzia sees creative work as another way to express feelings when words are hard to find. This complements her one-to-one counselling with adults.

She describes her role as helping people become more authentic and connected to their choices. People can expect a collaborative style where the pace and focus are agreed together. To begin, visitors are invited to ask questions and consider whether her approach fits their needs.

Approaches used online and how they help

Fauzia blends Person Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness so sessions focus on what matters to each person. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the person's lead, offers empathic listening and helps people find their own solutions; it can be useful for relationship and identity concerns. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and helps people try practical strategies for anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fauzia will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree what feels helpful. That collaborative process means the therapy plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy lives and reducing travel time. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Many people find remote or blended arrangements easier to schedule around work, study or family commitments and useful for short focused meetings as well as longer talks.
