About Farhaana Hanif
Beginning therapy can feel intimidating when life becomes overwhelming. Farhaana uses an empowering, grounded approach that honours each person’s pace and autonomy, supporting clients as they make sense of heavy feelings and reconnect with inner resources. Her practice emphasises collaboration - the client leads the work and she provides empathy, respect, and practical guidance.
People often seek her support for emotional exhaustion, burnout, decision fatigue, questions about relationships or boundaries, anxiety or depressive thoughts, grief and life transitions, or reactions to triggers from past experiences. Sessions provide a non-judgmental space for gentle, honest exploration, allowing difficult emotions to be untangled and practical tools to be developed that suit each individual.
Farhaana’s person-centred way of working is warm and emotionally supportive while also remaining grounded and empowering. Together with clients she explores patterns and builds ways to feel more in control of emotional responses and daily life. Many people describe sessions as a quiet exhale - grounding, affirming, and gently challenging in ways that open doors to insight and calm. Whether a person is ready to start or still undecided, Farhaana is available to walk alongside them through the therapeutic process.

Sessions are delivered by licensed professionals and therapists who work to build therapeutic rapport and maintain a consistent approach regardless of the format. Clients may also choose to change therapists if a different fit is desired, allowing the working relationship to be tailored to individual needs.
