Faha Makhdum, BACP

Faha works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and gentle reflection. One common approach teaches ways to manage strong emotions and break unhelpful patterns through structured exercises and short behavioural tasks. This helps with depression, anxiety and addictions by offering clear steps to change day-to-day routines.

Another approach emphasises talking through painful experiences and rebuilding safety in everyday life. It uses guided conversation to help people process trauma, grief and relationship wounds in a paced way that recognises limits and builds resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods and pace suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques are tailored, reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typed conversations, want ongoing check-ins, or need to fit therapy into breaks and irregular schedules.
