About Nisa
Nisa Farooq is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people through painful and confusing times. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what someone is going through. Nisa aims to make the first step feel easier for people who are worried or unsure about counselling.
She uses approaches that look at how early bonds and current thinking affect feelings and behaviour. Sessions may include practical thinking tools, exploring patterns from early relationships, and short-term problem-solving to manage immediate stress. This mix is intended to help people feel steadier and make day-to-day changes.
Nisa has five years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with those facing trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and parenting-related strain. Additional focus areas include hoarding, immigration and multicultural issues, obsessive-compulsive concerns, personality presentations, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
Her approach balances listening and practical steps. She helps people identify what is most urgent, then tries approaches that suit the person’s needs and pace. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, stronger emotional coping, and small achievable goals.
To start, people can complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. Nisa accepts international clients and carries out work from the United Kingdom.
How attachment and CBT ideas work in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand why certain reactions keep happening and supports gentler ways of relating to oneself and others.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical steps and short exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session options before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make sessions easier to schedule and fit into daily life. It can suit people who need a shorter check-in, want to avoid travel, or prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals use these approaches to help clients manage symptoms and work towards clearer ways of coping.
