Faha Makhdum, BACP

Faha Makhdum uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and the fallout from trauma. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP. She speaks English and accepts international clients.

Her work focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. These include low mood, self-esteem difficulties, relationship problems, grief, addiction concerns, sleep and eating issues, and career or parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and coping with life changes.

Faha tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. She aims for respectful, sensitive and compassionate care. Sessions are shaped around what the client finds helpful rather than a fixed template.

She has practised for 12 years in a UK context and brings that experience to structured short-term and longer-term work. Her background includes extensive work with couples, and she can offer support related to couple dynamics when that is appropriate.

Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire after pressing the Start Therapy button, followed by scheduling according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and availability.

How Faha uses therapeutic techniques online

Faha works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, more balanced ways of thinking and behaving; this can reduce anxiety, low mood and aid sleep. Another approach concentrates on processing difficult experiences gently, helping people reduce distress from trauma and abuse while building coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on the person's goals, circumstances and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life: it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and let people choose sessions that match their energy that day, such as audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, home tasks and conversational pacing to suit remote sessions while still aiming for steady progress.
