Person-centred care and practical approaches online
Farhaana uses a person-centred way of working that puts the individual's experience first. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what is said, and supporting a person to find their own solutions. It is helpful for people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and the emotional fallout of life changes.Alongside that, her practice emphasises practical tools to manage everyday pressure. These can include noticing emotional patterns, exploring triggers, and trying short coping exercises between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build steadiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to agree what feels most helpful, adapting methods as needs and goals evolve. This means sessions may shift over time towards more exploration, practical skills, or a mix of both depending on the individual.
