About Farzana Iqbal
- Roundhay, Leeds

I’m Farzana Iqbal, a qualified counsellor providing dedicated support through grief, loss, and times of significant change. Based in Leeds, I offer face-to-face therapy, as well as online sessions for adults across the UK.

​

I have previously worked as a bereavement counsellor in both adult and children’s hospice settings, supporting people through some of the most painful and life-changing moments of their lives.

​

I understand that grief and loss can bring such a complex mix of emotions, and it can feel incredibly difficult to share what you are going through with those around you. You might find yourself questioning who you are, your sense of purpose, and how to navigate through it all.

​

In our sessions, I offer a space where you can talk openly and honestly, without pressure, judgment, or expectation. We will explore what you are going through together, helping you understand your loss and process your grief at your own pace.

​

Alongside my private practice, I also work with Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), supporting individuals navigating stress, workplace pressures, and personal transitions. Having previously worked in a corporate environment, I understand the challenges you face when balancing demanding roles, high expectations, and the need to protect your own wellbeing.

​

My approach is mainly person-centred.  This simply means that you are the expert in your own life, and our sessions are entirely guided by you - there is no judgement, analysis, or pressure to share before you are ready. Instead, I offer a safe, collaborative relationship where you feel genuinely heard. When helpful, I adapt my approach to support your unique needs. 

​

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and hold full professional indemnity insurance and an enhanced DBS certificate.
