More about Farzana
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a licensed and experienced UK therapist and have been working as a senior therapist for over ten years. I provide a person centred, non judgemental, empathic and safe space for clients to explore and share their trauma, feelings, thoughts and emotions. If you are looking for a uniques therapist with experience and expertise, I can help. My expertise enables me to work with an extensive range of clients and issues, including relationship issues, divorce, domestic violence, narcissism, depression and anxiety, sexual abuse, self esteem and confidence issues, loss, bereavement, stress, terminal illness diagnosis, addiction, confidence issues, abuse, and trauma. I use a client focused approach which gives clients a chance to see what works for them, allows them to feel empowered and look at what they want to achieve from therapy. I provide empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard, and I work in a culturally sensitive way. In addition to this, I work with neurodiverse clients including those with ADHD, ADD and ASD, and have been doing so for almost a decade, supporting those who struggle with neurodivergency to have a safe space to talk and become empowered and confident. I also offer therapy in Urdu and Punjabi.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
