Faaizah Hussain , BACP

Faaizah Hussain is a BACP-registered counsellor and the founder of The Golden Thread Therapy (https://www.thegoldenthreadtherapy.org). She brings three years of hands-on experience supporting people through significant emotional challenges, including grief, trauma, anxiety, and confidence-building. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Her practice has included work with both teens and adults across a range of settings, addressing issues such as identity concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and the emotional impacts of abuse. Faaizah also focuses on helping people build motivation, manage imposter feelings, and reconnect with their strengths when overwhelmed by difficult circumstances.

Faaizah approaches therapy from a person-centred perspective and draws on trauma-informed and creative methods to help clients explore their stories and resources. She views each person as the expert of their own life and seeks to highlight the resilience and insights they already carry. That initial decision to seek support is acknowledged as a courageous step, and she aims to accompany people compassionately as they work toward greater wellbeing and purpose.

Faaizah offers a warm, non-judgmental space designed to help individuals reconnect with themselves and move forward at a pace that suits them. She is accepting new clients and works with international clients as well.

Trauma-informed and person-centred care delivered online

Faaizah uses person-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client's experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person's own capacity for growth, and it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also integrates trauma-informed approaches that pay attention to safety, pacing, and the impact of past harm on present functioning. These methods help people who have experienced abuse, overwhelm, or significant loss to process difficult emotions and rebuild a sense of stability.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Faaizah works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client explore methods together and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to receive support from home or wherever they feel most comfortable, accommodate different schedules and communication styles, and make it easier to continue therapy during life transitions. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to suit individual needs and therapeutic goals.
