About Tahira

Tahira Hussain is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, grief, or struggles with addiction. She also supports concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem, and career-related worries.

Working in a straightforward and collaborative way, Tahira treats each person as an individual. She listens first, then works with clients to agree practical goals and small steps.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what feels manageable and useful in daily life rather than on jargon or long theories. Tahira draws on several well-known approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods and trauma-focused techniques. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and solution-focused steps to build on what already helps.

These approaches are blended to match the needs and preferences of each person. Her background includes practice in personal settings, digital therapy platforms and specialist domestic abuse organisations. That experience has shaped her familiarity with complex trauma, safeguarding and outcome-focused work.

Tahira uses assessment and formulation to make practical plans for therapy and to monitor progress. Sessions are offered in English, Punjabi and Urdu. She works remotely with people in the United Kingdom and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Starting is a simple process of completing a short questionnaire and arranging a session time. Her style is calm and direct. Tahira aims to help people gain insight, manage symptoms and take steps towards important changes in their lives.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy and reflects back what matters most, helping people clarify values and goals and build self-awareness. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy helps process distressing memories and reactions so those memories cause less disruption in day-to-day life.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Tahira works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their situation. That shared planning includes reviewing progress and adjusting methods as needs or goals change.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically spread people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or those who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a workday, manage childcare, or continue therapy while away from home. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver evidence-informed work that focuses on goals, skills and recovery.
