Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Fauzia draws on client-centred therapy to create a supportive, non-directive space where the person’s own experiences and choices guide the work. This approach helps with exploring identity, building self-esteem, improving relationships, and processing emotional pain. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy is another strand she incorporates to develop present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can be helpful for managing anxiety, strong emotions, and rumination.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These options can reduce travel time, broaden access for those with mobility or scheduling constraints, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that suit their routines and communication styles.
