About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem. She helps people who are dealing with trauma, depression, addictions and grief.
She also assists clients with sleep and eating difficulties, parenting challenges and career-related stress. Her work includes addressing issues such as compassion fatigue and ADHD related coping.
Background and approach
Faha aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations are shaped around each person's situation. She develops a tailored plan so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented while remaining warm and attentive. She listens for patterns that get in the way and helps people try different ways of responding. Sessions often focus on small, practical changes that add up over time.
Practical matters are handled simply. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients may be supported in English, and scheduling is arranged through the site matching process.

Therapy approaches and online support
Faha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused on real-life change. One common approach she favours involves looking at thinking and behaviour patterns and trying small experiments to shift unhelpful habits; this helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach focuses on building emotional awareness and coping skills so people can manage strong feelings after trauma or loss, which can support improvements in relationships and day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person, weigh their goals and preferences, and agree a way forward together. The method can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so it fits what the client actually needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a simpler option that needs less bandwidth; chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats aim to give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on clear, helpful therapeutic work.
