About Fauzia
Fauzia Hoque is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression and issues linked to addiction. Her listed focus also includes family and parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD and career-related stress.
She uses Person-Centred principles at the core of her work. That means sessions start from what matters to the individual and build from there. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises when helpful. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify practical steps and small changes that can be tried between meetings.
Fauzia has experience in private practice and in a secondary school setting. That background informs how she works with adults who are also parents, carers, or supporting young people. She has used art-based approaches in the past to help people express difficult emotions when words are hard to find.
Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the person's needs. Practical tools like thought records, grounding exercises and short goal-setting tasks may be introduced. When suitable, she will suggest simple mindful practices to help with sleep, anger or ongoing worry.
People often come with concerns about communication, attachment, abandonment or blended family challenges. Fauzia also lists work around body image, caregiver stress, and coping with major life changes. She asks people to describe what they want from counselling and then helps shape the work from there.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own perspective. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the pace and topics, with the counsellor following the person's lead and reflecting what they say. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Delivered online, CBT often uses short exercises, thought records and homework tasks to tackle anxiety, sleep problems or low mood.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide whether Person-Centred listening, CBT tools or mindfulness exercises best match the client's goals. That choice can change as progress is measured and priorities shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit into a work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in if that suits their day. Discussing practical arrangements helps match session length and timing to everyday life rather than forcing major schedule changes.
