Hello, I am a BACP-registered counsellor and founder of The Golden Thread Therapy (https://www.thegoldenthreadtherapy.org), with over three years of professional experience supporting people through life’s toughest moments. My work has spanned emotional health, grief, trauma, and confidence-building — all areas we’ve likely felt the weight of, but don't have to navigate alone.
I’ve had the privilege of working across a range of settings. This means I’ve supported teens and adults through anxiety, grief, identity challenges, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships — even unpacking the layers of abuse or emotional overwhelm they might be experiencing. I am also passionate about working with clients on confidence, motivation, and overcoming imposter feelings.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story, and I see my role as helping to illuminate the strengths, resilience, and insights you already carry. That first step — the step of seeking help — is brave, and I’m honoured to walk alongside you as you move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
I offer a space that is warm, non-judgmental, and person-centred, drawing on trauma-informed and creative approaches to help you reconnect with yourself and your purpose.
If you’re ready to begin, I’d be privileged to support you in your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Faaizah Hussain. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is an extremely wise and intelligent woman. She shows experience beyond her years. She is very thorough. She approaches with an appreciated delicacy, and maintains a firm but fair stance when needed.
