Farzana Iqbal

Farzana Iqbal is a counsellor who offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and helps people navigate big life changes and career pressures. Farzana is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and brings three years of practice to her work.

Her style is gentle and practical. Sessions are a place to talk honestly, without judgment. She listens for what matters to each person, then helps them find small steps that feel possible to take.

Farzana blends client-centred principles with solution-focused ideas. The client-centred side means the conversation follows the person’s own pace and priorities. Solution-focused techniques look for existing strengths and quick, useful strategies to try between sessions.

She also supports people dealing with issues around body image, attachment and abandonment, family of origin concerns, fertility and end-of-life matters. Other areas she often addresses include anger, guilt and shame, loneliness, money worries and a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose.

Farzana aims to make the first contact straightforward. She encourages people who are unsure where to begin to reach out and use the simple matching process to find a good fit. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she conducts work in English.

How her approaches work online and in conversation

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings, understand choices, or work through grief and loss. The therapist follows the client’s lead and concentrates on building a trusting conversation.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that make a difference quickly. It highlights existing strengths and aims to identify steps to try between sessions, which can help with stress, anxiety and goal-focused issues like career decisions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Farzana will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as work progresses, so goals, preferences and practical needs guide her recommendations.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions to happen from a chosen location; it can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based conversations when that better suits a day-to-day schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these flexible arrangements to help people maintain consistency and progress between sessions.
