About Tahira
Tahira Hussain is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and more than 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and parenting challenges. Her approach aims to help people make sense of difficult events and find practical ways to cope.
She has worked in independent practice, on digital platforms and with organisations supporting people affected by domestic abuse. That background means she is familiar with risk assessment, safeguarding and supporting people after loss or assault.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship strain, career pressures and changes in mood such as bipolar presentations. Tahira practises in an integrative way. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas to suit each person.
Sessions focus on the relationship between client and counsellor, and on clear goals for change. In the room she works collaboratively. She helps people look at patterns, understand difficult feelings and try new ways of coping.
Practical strategies and gentle reflection are used side by side to match what a person needs right now. She offers sessions in English, Punjabi and Urdu. Tahira works with adults and young adults on concerns such as parenting, attachment issues, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, anger and obsessive thoughts.
Her practice emphasises understanding, safety and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgement. It helps people who need a calm space to talk through parenting stress, grief or low self-esteem and to feel heard while they consider changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, tackle compulsive behaviours and improve sleep and mood.
Psychodynamic ideas explore patterns that run through a person’s relationships and choices. This approach can help uncover old beliefs or attachments that affect parenting, intimacy and repeated relationship struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client what fits best, based on goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative planning may combine short practical strategies with deeper reflective work.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, child care or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
