About Fauzia

Fauzia Hoque is a Person Centred counsellor who focuses on helping people feel more like themselves. She uses a warm, accepting approach to help people untangle difficult feelings around relationships, loss, stress and addiction. Fauzia holds BACP accreditation and draws on nine years of practice in the UK.

Her sessions are shaped around what each person brings. She listens for the concrete problems behind anxiety, depression and sleep or eating struggles. She also supports people coping with trauma, bereavement, codependency and life changes, and those managing neurodiversity or attachment challenges.

Fauzia mixes Person Centred work with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused methods. She adds mindfulness exercises and creative options like art and play where words feel hard. This blend is used to help people calm racing thoughts, spot unhelpful patterns and build small achievable steps forward.

She has experience both in private practice and working in a secondary school setting, where she uses play therapy with younger clients and art-based activities across ages. Fauzia aims to create a space where people can explore identity, grief and relationship patterns safely and at their own pace.

Many people come with worries about intimacy, communication or feeling overwhelmed. Fauzia works with them to set clear, realistic goals and to find ways of coping that fit day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Fauzia integrates Person Centred counselling with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness exercises. Person Centred work focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the client, which helps with identity, grief and relationship concerns. CBT offers practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Mindfulness introduces simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and reduce rumination.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of working together. Fauzia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative process aims to find a balance between talking, practical skill-building and creative activities like art work when that helps.

The practical aim of online arrangements is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats available with the service before booking. Many people find remote work makes it easier to schedule appointments around work or family, use shorter check-ins when needed, and access sessions without travelling. Fauzia can shape sessions to suit how a person prefers to work and to the issues they bring.
