Farzana Iqbal is a BACP registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a down-to-earth, supportive way of working for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. Her approach is calm and non-judgemental and she focuses on what matters most to each person.

Sessions are a place to speak honestly and be heard. She helps clients talk through difficult feelings, uncover what sits beneath them, and find practical ways to cope.

Background and approach

The emphasis is on steady support rather than quick fixes, with the pace set by the client. Farzana combines client-centred work with solution-focused techniques. That means she listens to understand each person's experience, and she also helps set clear, manageable steps forward.

This blend suits people looking for both understanding and practical change. She has three years of professional experience and works with issues such as anger, life changes, career concerns and coping with illness. Additional areas of focus include attachment and family of origin difficulties, body image, fertility and end-of-life concerns.

People who come to her often want simple, realistic ways to feel steadier day to day. She aims to make sessions straightforward and relevant to everyday life. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own answers. This approach can help when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps that move things forward. It looks at what already works and builds on it, which can be useful for managing stress, setting career goals or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of starting work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is done collaboratively so the plan matches what the client wants to achieve.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking to confirm what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer ways to make sessions fit everyday life, and this counsellor will help identify the best arrangement for each person.
