About Faha
Faha Makhdum is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical, person-centred conversations that aim to make day-to-day life more manageable. She works respectfully and with compassion, tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
Her work often addresses stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. She also helps people navigate relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns.
Background and approach
LGBT issues are listed among her focus areas and are included in her practice. Faha explains therapy in plain terms and builds a plan with the person in front of her. She listens for what is most urgent and then sets small, achievable steps.
Sessions can cover coping skills, clearer communication, and ways to rebuild confidence after painful events. Her background includes substantial experience with relationship-focused work. That experience informs how she helps people talk through conflict, commitment worries, and blended family stress.
She aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life. People who choose to work with her begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. The subscription system used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Faha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One approach centres on skill-building for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding and problem-solving methods that people can use between sessions to manage symptoms. Another approach focuses on relationship work, helping people improve communication, set boundaries and address commitment or blended family issues in manageable steps.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This means the direction of therapy can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel time, using shorter check-ins during a break, or choosing audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide how to arrange sessions so they suit your routine and commitments.
