About Nisa
Nisa Farooq offers a warm, person-centred approach grounded in practical methods. She combines attachment ideas with cognitive and solution-focused tools to help people manage stress, anxiety and grief. Nisa uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel calm and focused from the first contact.
She has five years' experience working with depression, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and parenting concerns. People also seek her help for hoarding, immigration-related stress, multicultural issues, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, personality-related problems, non-monogamous relationship matters and experiences of prejudice.
Background and approach
Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation is listed as BACP. In sessions she listens first and then helps people find small, manageable steps to feel steadier. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural ideas are mixed with attachment-based thinking to improve relationships and emotional regulation.
Solution-focused methods are used when people want shorter-term, goal-oriented work. When trauma is part of someone's history she draws on trauma-focused approaches to help process distress at a pace the person chooses. Conversations aim to build a clearer sense of what is causing current difficulties and what changes feel achievable.
Nisa keeps language plain and focuses on useful strategies rather than jargon. She offers conversations by video, phone, live chat or messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
