About Farzana
Farzana Iqbal is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, career issues and major life changes. She offers straightforward counselling and works with people who are dealing with depression and the practical strain of difficult life events. Sessions are presented in an accessible, non-judgemental way.
Her approach focuses on listening first and then finding practical steps that fit daily life. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters to the person in front of her. Solution-focused techniques help identify small, achievable changes to try between sessions.
Farzana pays attention to how past relationships and family patterns affect current feelings. She will talk through attachment and abandonment concerns and how these show up in work, relationships and self-image. The work can also cover grief, end-of-life issues, fertility concerns and the emotional effects of cancer.
Conversations may include looking at guilt, shame or feelings of emptiness and loneliness. Money worries, life purpose and career crossroads are also discussed in practical terms. The emphasis is on clear next steps rather than theory-heavy sessions.
To begin, people complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. The therapist aims for steady, realistic progress and works at a pace the client finds manageable. The focus is on usable coping strategies and clearer ways to handle anger, stress and everyday pressure.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to talk about anger, grief or anxiety and to be heard without pressure. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. It is useful for managing specific issues such as workplace frustration, coping during life changes, or reducing frequent outbursts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which method or mix of methods suits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as sessions continue so practical changes can be adjusted.
The practical benefit of online counselling is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to meet during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are hectic. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to keep therapy workable alongside work, family and other commitments.
