About Faha
Faha Makhdum offers calm, practical therapy grounded in evidence-based techniques. She is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and steadier emotions during difficult times.
Faha helps with common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around addiction and LGBT concerns.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and adapts the conversation to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. Faha works with clients on sleep and eating problems, anger, parenting strain, career stress and coping with major life changes.
She also addresses compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns and challenges linked to caregiving and chronic illness. Her additional focus areas include abandonment, blended family issues, body image, cancer-related stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and the fallout from divorce or domestic violence. She aims to help clients spot patterns and try new ways of handling them.
People meet the therapist online by choosing a plan and completing a short matching questionnaire. Faha will shape a plan with you that fits your goals and rhythm, using language that is straightforward and humane.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That decision is revisited as you go, so the plan can be adjusted if something does not fit.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into your life and keep continuity when schedules change.
