About Me

I’m Farzana Iqbal, a counsellor supporting people through bereavement, loss, and life transitions.

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 mix of emotions, and it can feel difficult to share with others what you are going through. 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 explore what you’re going through together, helping you understand your loss.

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

My approach is mainly person-centred, offering a trusting and supportive relationship where you feel heard and accepted. When helpful, I integrate other approaches to support your individual needs.

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

Supporting Your Emotional Well-Being

We all go through times in life that feel difficult to manage on our own. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when things already feel overwhelming.

I understand that starting therapy isn’t always easy. You may feel that you don't have the right words or know exactly where to begin, and that's okay. Together, we take things one step at a time, focusing on what feels most important to you right now.

I work with people experiencing bereavement, loss, and life transitions, offering support that moves at a pace that feels manageable for you.

Below are some examples of the issues I have experience and knowledge in working with:

  1. Anger

  2. Anxiety

  3. Cultural issues

  4. Depression

  5. Grief, loss and bereavement

  6. Life Transitions
