Fazna Iqbal-Clifford

I’m an Existential Counsellor and Psychotherapist, currently completing a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

I’m trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT and psychodynamic models, which I integrate thoughtfully, as required, to meet your needs. However, my speciality lies in working existentially and phenomenologically — a philosophical and reflective process that allows me to explore with you: who you are, what you stand for, and how you experience and relate to the world around you.

I understand that therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming, confronting, or even daunting; hence why it is so important to feel genuinely supported as you explore a myriad of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I aim to offer a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate space where you can reflect deeply and meaningfully while moving at your own pace.

With over a decade of experience in mental health, learning disability, and neurodivergent services across educational, health, and social care settings—including roles within the NHS, local authorities, and as a trainee psychologist—I have gained extensive experience engaging with a diverse range of issues.

In my practice, I aim to create a space where you can sit with the discomforts life often throws at us — not to fix or perfect, but to understand and find meaning. I believe in normalising the struggles of existence while exploring your essence and authenticity. Instead of striving for perfection or fitting into rigid standards, we’ll explore what makes life meaningful for you.

Let’s strip away all of the layers and bring it back to the core — flaws and all, because…“The wound is the place where the light enters you.” – Rumi.
