Fauzia Hoque, BACP

Fauzia Hoque is a person-centred counsellor who works with individuals facing a broad range of emotional and behavioral challenges. She draws on a flexible, holistic approach to tailor sessions to each person's needs, creating space for clients to explore feelings around substance misuse, depression, anxiety, experiences of emotional, physical and sexual abuse, gender identity questions, relationship difficulties and loss or bereavement.

Alongside a private practice, she works in a secondary school setting where she integrates play therapy to help young people express themselves in developmentally appropriate ways. She also uses art-based methods with both adults and children, recognising that creative expression can reveal emotions and experiences that are difficult to put into words.

Passionate about supporting clients to be their authentic selves, she combines different therapeutic models and skills to form a collaborative working relationship. Building a strong, trusting connection is central to her view of effective therapy, and she adapts techniques to match each client’s goals and circumstances. Prospective clients are invited to get in touch with any questions about working together.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Fauzia commonly integrates client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques to support people in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathetic space where clients lead the pace of exploration; it is often helpful for building self-understanding, processing grief, and working through relationship or identity questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured ways to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - this approach can be useful for treating anxiety, depression, and patterns that contribute to stress and low mood.

She also draws on mindfulness-based ideas to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping skills for emotional regulation. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to identify which methods fit the client’s goals, preferences and life circumstances, and may combine techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Fauzia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals and continue consistent therapeutic work from locations that suit their lives.
