Faaizah Hussain, BACP

Faaizah Hussain uses person-centred and trauma-informed ways of working to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She is BACP accredited and brings three years of professional practice to conversations about difficult life moments. Faaizah writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to help people feel understood and seen from the first meeting.

Her approach is practical and gentle. She listens to each person’s story and highlights strengths already present. Sessions often focus on building confidence, coping skills and clearer communication for difficult relationships or workplace strain.

Faaizah has supported people through bereavement, emotional abuse and major life changes including separation and career shifts. She also helps with eating and body image concerns, feelings of emptiness, and guilt or shame. Her background includes supporting people with compassion fatigue and those facing immigration or end-of-life challenges.

Therapy with her can include creative exercises alongside talking work. She draws on trauma-informed ideas to reduce overwhelm and help people make sense of painful memories. Conversations aim to be practical so clients can try small changes between sessions.

Work is offered through several online formats so therapy can fit around busy lives. The overall aim is to help people reconnect with purpose, build resilience and take manageable steps toward feeling better.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Faaizah uses person-centred counselling which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a working relationship where they can explore feelings and choices.

She also draws on trauma-informed practices that aim to reduce overwhelm when discussing painful memories. These techniques include pacing sessions, grounding exercises and practical ways to manage flashbacks or high emotional arousal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree on what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility around work, childcare or travel while keeping focus on progress and practical coping skills.
