About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Her practice also covers depression, addictions, grief, anger and problems with sleep or eating.
She approaches sessions in a straightforward way. Conversations focus on the issues you bring and practical steps you can try between meetings. She adapts the pace and topics to what feels useful for each person rather than following a single rigid method.
Faha has a record of supporting people through relationship difficulties and motivation problems. She also assists clients facing career stress, life changes, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue from caring roles. Her background includes work around abandonment and family of origin issues.
In sessions she talks through communication and control issues, commitment and codependency concerns, and the strain that comes from blended family arrangements or divorce and separation. She also works with people affected by domestic violence, cancer-related stress, and other major life disruptions.
She offers collaborative planning so people can try small, achievable changes. Practical skills, clearer boundaries, and improved day-to-day coping are common focuses. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
Evidence-based approaches and online working
Faha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in a clear, practical way. Cognitive approaches focus on recognising unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can help with anger, anxiety and low mood. Brief skills-based work teaches breathing, grounding and communication strategies for managing strong feelings and difficult conversations.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust those methods as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It can also let someone use video or audio depending on their comfort and bandwidth, which helps keep sessions practical and manageable.
