About Farzana

Farzana Iqbal is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. Her practice also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, fertility and feelings of guilt and shame.

She offers straightforward counselling where people can speak honestly about what is happening. Conversations are down-to-earth and free of judgement. The tone is steady rather than rushed, and sessions aim to look at what matters most to the client.

Farzana listens for what sits under the surface of a problem. She helps people identify practical ways to cope, and considers both immediate steps and longer-term adjustments. Work can include talking through emotions, spotting patterns that keep a problem going, and trying small changes to daily routines.

Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working, which prioritise the person’s own perspective. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and track progress. Together these methods are used to address things like career strain, family of origin issues, loneliness and end-of-life concerns.

Farzana accepts international clients and works in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client bring to each session, helping them make sense of their feelings and choices. This works well for issues such as attachment concerns, grief and feelings of guilt or shame.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting small, practical goals and noticing what changes when those steps are tried. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented work around problems like stress, career strain or coping with life changes.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes whether sessions lean more towards listening and exploration or towards goal-setting and tasks.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to use short check-ins, schedule appointments around work, or avoid being on camera when that helps. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to see which format matches your routine.
