Fauzia Hoque

Fauzia Hoque is a BACP counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship worries, grief and anger. Her manner is calm and attentive and she aims to make conversations straightforward and practical.

She brings nine years of experience to her practice, combining one-to-one counselling with work in a secondary school setting. In the school she uses play and creative art to help young people express difficult feelings when words are hard to find. Fauzia also uses art-based approaches in adult work when clients find that helpful.

Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and solution-focused work. She adapts what she offers to match each person’s situation and preferences rather than following one fixed routine. Sessions often involve talking through what is happening now and trying out small, practical steps between meetings.

Fauzia describes her work as holistic and relationship-based, aiming to help people reconnect with who they are. She supports people coping with addiction, trauma, identity questions, eating or sleeping problems, career pressures and neurodiversity-related concerns. The goal is to make steady, usable change in everyday life.

If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process to match with a practitioner and arrange sessions. The therapist offers sessions in English and practises in the United Kingdom.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; online sessions using this approach tend to centre on exploring what matters now and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes; delivered remotely it often includes short practical exercises and agreed tasks to try between sessions. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and calming practices that can be practised in daily life and reviewed together in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will choose or combine methods and adjust how sessions run as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps, or enable more regular contact during periods of stress. Many people find remote sessions make it simpler to try practical tasks between meetings and to bring materials such as art exercises into the work without needing to travel.
