About Farzana
Farzana Iqbal is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, anxiety, stress and depression. She provides steady, down-to-earth support and aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who feels overwhelmed. She keeps sessions simple and human.
Conversations are open and honest, without judgement. The focus is on what matters to the client, not on quick fixes or rushed solutions. Farzana listens to understand what sits beneath immediate problems.
Background and approach
From there she and the client work together to find small, practical ways to cope day to day. That might mean experimenting with new routines, testing a different way of thinking, or trying short exercises between sessions. Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
She uses approaches that centre the person and aim for clear, achievable goals. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including anger, career questions, coping with life changes, and issues around belonging and self image. She also supports those dealing with illness, loss, money worries and family of origin problems.
Sessions are paced to suit each person’s needs and readiness to change. Reaching out does not require having everything figured out first. Farzana offers a calm space to talk things through and to plan practical next steps together.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. Sessions often look at strengths and what already works, then build brief, achievable goals. It can help when someone wants focused short-term work to improve coping and day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as needs become clearer. That means trying things out together and checking in on progress rather than sticking rigidly to one plan.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a registered BACP therapist from outside their local area while keeping therapy focused on practical, everyday changes.
