About Nisa

Nisa Farooq is a BACP counsellor who focuses on trauma, anxiety and grief. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, low mood or difficult past experiences. Nisa aims to make the first step easier and listens without judgement so people can start to feel steadier.

Nisa draws on approaches that help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address distress tied to painful memories and Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current feelings.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into small, manageable steps. Her practice covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, eating difficulties and parenting strain. She also supports people facing hoarding, immigration and multicultural issues, obsessive or compulsive behaviours, personality-related challenges, non-monogamous relationship questions and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.

With five years of experience, Nisa aims to work collaboratively. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs, with space to talk through emotions, develop coping tools and try out new ways of responding. She accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer online work.

People who choose Nisa can expect a calm, listening approach and a focus on what matters most now. When someone is ready to begin, she offers a clear route to start and helps shape therapy around personal goals and day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Nisa commonly uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce the hold of painful memories. This approach looks at how past harms affect day-to-day feelings and helps build new ways of coping with triggers.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work. It explores how early relationships shape current responses and helps people try out different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. Plans can change as therapy progresses and the focus will be adjusted to what is helping most.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while working with registered or accredited professionals.
