Faha Makhdum is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and challenges around motivation and confidence.

Faha uses practical, evidence-based approaches that are shaped around each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals and on building skills you can use outside the room.

Background and approach

She aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people feel heard. Her work includes helping with addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, anger, and career concerns. Faha also supports clients navigating parenting strain, blended family problems, and family of origin issues.

Additional focus areas include body image, cancer-related distress, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with major life changes. Over the years Faha has worked with people affected by domestic violence, abandonment, commitment and communication problems, and separation or divorce. She offers help for those struggling with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of disasters.

She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Faha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients when that fits scheduling and the platform in use.

How approach and online delivery work together

Faha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and skill-building. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another emphasises processing traumatic experiences safely, giving space to make sense of what happened and to build coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Faha will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as you progress. Together you will choose what feels most useful and realistic for your situation, and adjust the plan over time.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want asynchronous support, or need flexible timing. These options offer practical choices so work and life commitments are easier to manage.
