Person-centred support for grief and trauma
About Faaizah
Faaizah Hussain is a BACP counsellor who focuses on emotional health, grief and trauma. She offers practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her style is warm and person-centred and aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope.
She brings three years of experience from a range of settings. This has involved helping people untangle anxiety, process loss, manage overwhelm and rebuild confidence after difficult experiences.
Background and approach
Faaizah pays attention to the small steps that add up to real change. Her work often addresses relationship concerns, communication problems and the impact of attachment patterns. She also supports people dealing with eating and body-image issues, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and immigration-related stress.
Practical coping skills are combined with time to talk through painful memories and emotions. Faaizah uses trauma-informed and creative approaches alongside person-centred care. She aims to highlight strengths and build motivation, addressing issues such as guilt, shame, jealousy and feelings of emptiness.
Conversations include exploring life purpose and rekindling a sense of direction. Sessions can also cover career decisions, compassion fatigue, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and parenting pressures. The goal is to help people notice what helps them feel safer and more capable, then work toward those changes together.

Approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Faaizah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a person-centred way. One common approach she draws on helps people process traumatic memories by pacing conversations, managing triggers and building coping skills so distress becomes easier to tolerate. Another approach focuses on improving self-esteem and motivation by identifying unhelpful beliefs and practising small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust the way they work if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions suit people who need a simpler setup or lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
