About Fariha
Fariha Hassan helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or low self-esteem. She works with adults facing parenting strains, family conflict, relationship worries and the emotional aftermath of separation. She speaks English and Urdu and practises from the United Kingdom.
Fariha draws on nine years of professional experience to tailor sessions to each person. She aims to listen without judgement and respond with practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and direct, focusing on what the client needs next rather than fitting everyone to the same plan. People come to her for help with grief, parenting challenges, coping after divorce, and for support with communication or control issues. She also offers support around multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Hearing-impaired clients are included among the areas she has experience addressing. Sessions are shaped around a client's goals and pace. Fariha works collaboratively to set realistic steps and helps people build skills they can use between meetings.
She emphasises restoring self-worth, repairing relationships where possible, and finding practical ways to manage anxiety and stress. Her style combines empathy with clear guidance so clients leave sessions with usable ideas. Fariha describes therapy as a partnership in which small changes add up over time.
She supports people who want to make changes and find steadier ground in their lives.

Online support
Choosing the best approach is a joint process. The therapist and client review what’s most important, try methods that feel right, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative way helps match techniques to the person’s goals, culture and daily life demands.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing things out or need flexibility around work or caring commitments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while still working on the same evidence-based approaches used in person.
