About Fariha

Fariha Hassan is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and low self esteem. She works with individuals facing family difficulties, grief and parenting struggles. She speaks English and Urdu and practises in the United Kingdom, supporting clients from different cultural backgrounds.

With nine years of professional experience, she adapts sessions to each person's needs. She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Background and approach

She supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues and feelings of emptiness. Fariha also helps people coping with immigration issues, hearing impairment challenges and the fallout of natural or human-caused disasters. She offers help for those facing divorce and separation, guilt and shame, jealousy and isolation.

Women’s concerns and self-love work are among her regular focus areas. Her practice follows recognised, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and she will tailor a plan for each person. She encourages practical steps, small changes and clearer communication between people when that is needed.

The goal is to help clients feel more able to cope day to day. People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative approach. She aims to empower clients to make decisions that fit their life and values.

Taking the first step can be hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Fariha uses evidence-based techniques that are shaped to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching breath work, grounding strategies and simple routines that reduce overwhelm. Another emphasis is on improving communication and resolving family conflict by practising clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, helping people rebuild trust and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
