About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She aims to meet people where they are and to offer steady support as they make changes.
She treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs, not a fixed script. That might mean talking through a recent setback, working on coping strategies, or focusing on ways to rebuild confidence.
Faha has spent significant time helping people address relationship difficulties and the knock-on effects those issues can have on mood and daily functioning. She also has experience with addiction, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to caring roles.
She lists additional focus areas such as codependency, communication problems, family of origin issues, abandonment, control issues and coping with life changes. Faha tailors conversations and practical tasks to the situation someone brings, helping them notice patterns and try different approaches.
Faha holds BACP registration, which indicates adherence to that professional body’s standards for counsellors. To begin, people follow the site process to match with a therapist, complete a short questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online counselling
Faha works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding patterns. One common approach she uses helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood in place; this approach involves noticing thought patterns and testing new ways of responding. Another approach focuses on relationships and interaction patterns, helping people notice repeating dynamics such as codependency or communication problems and to practise clearer boundaries and different responses.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try a method for a few sessions, and then adjust the plan based on what helps most. This means the work can shift as needs and priorities change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to keep up regular appointments while juggling work, family or caring responsibilities.
