Person-centred approaches and online therapy

Farhaana primarily practices a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening with empathy and following the client's lead. This method helps people explore feelings, rebuild a sense of self, and work through issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions by creating a supportive, non-judgemental space.

Alongside that, her work uses supportive, exploratory counselling techniques that help clients identify patterns, name difficult emotions and develop practical coping strategies. These tools are aimed at increasing emotional clarity and day-to-day resilience when dealing with stress, burnout or past triggers.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Farhaana works with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adapting sessions to individual needs, goals and preferences so that therapy remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with Farhaana is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and therapists from home or elsewhere, and allow people to choose the format that best supports their comfort and consistency of care.
