About Farhaana
Farhaana Hanif is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also notes additional focus areas including blended family issues and communication problems.
Farhaana describes a person-centred way of working where the client leads the pace of sessions. She aims to listen and reflect so people can make sense of what feels heavy. Sessions are presented as a place to untangle difficult emotions and find practical tools for clearer thinking.
Her background includes supporting people across the social care sector. That experience informs how she responds to burnout, caregiver stress and long-term health or pain issues. She uses straightforward conversation rather than technical terms to help people spot patterns and try different ways of coping.
In practice she helps people who are questioning relationships, struggling with boundaries, or reacting to triggers from past experiences. People preparing for or adjusting to blended household life may find the focus on communication and practical coping useful.
Sessions move at the client’s rhythm and aim to build clarity and a stronger sense of control over emotions. The subscription-based session model can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Farhaana describes her work as person-centred, which means sessions focus on the client’s concerns and the counsellor follows their pace. In plain terms this involves careful listening, reflecting back what comes up, and helping people make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship questions.She also uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to identify patterns and develop coping strategies. That can include talking through reactions to past experiences and trying practical tools to reduce overwhelm or improve communication in a blended household. These techniques are aimed at making emotions easier to manage day to day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy schedule, for example by avoiding travel, allowing a shorter check-in between commitments, or making it easier to attend from different locations. Registered and accredited professionals use online work to support continuity of care and regular check-ins without changing therapeutic intent.
