Tahira Hussain, BACP

Tahira Hussain is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of post-qualification experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults and young adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship problems, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, anger and related concerns.

She has worked across private practice, digital platforms and specialist domestic abuse organisations. That background means she is familiar with assessment, formulation and practical risk management when it is needed. Her approach is outcome-focused and aimed at helping people get clearer about the next steps.

Tahira practises as an integrative psychotherapist and draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful patterns, test new ways of responding and build clearer explanations for what has been happening in their life.

She places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work and collaborates with clients to understand life events and emotional responses. That collaboration is used to make sense of trauma, process grief, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Practical tasks, talking through feelings and reviewing progress are all part of her style. She aims to increase self-awareness, help people notice warning signs and support realistic steps toward change. Sessions are conducted in English; Punjabi and Urdu are also available for those who prefer them.
