About Farzana
Farzana Iqbal is a BACP registered therapist based in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, down-to-earth counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, depression or major life changes. Her manner is warm and patient and she aims to make the first step easier for anyone who reaches out.
She keeps sessions simple and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Farzana listens without judgement and helps people name difficult feelings so they can make clearer choices about next steps. Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of the conversation. She also uses solution-focused techniques to find small, achievable changes that help in daily life.
Together these approaches aim to balance understanding with practical action. Farzana has three years of experience as a therapist and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP. She supports people dealing with a range of concerns including anger, career worries, attachment or family of origin issues, fertility and end-of-life topics.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The process starts with a single step and Farzana will help work out the right pace from there.

How Farzana works online
Solution-focused therapy looks for small, practical steps that move things forward. It concentrates on goals and on what has worked in the past, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and career or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss how these ways of working might fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments and removing travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in during a short break or to maintain continuity when life is busy. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
