About Nisa

Nisa Farooq offers a compassionate, person-centred way of working grounded in practical therapeutic approaches. She bases sessions on attachment and trauma-focused ideas, and uses practical tools when people need clear steps forward. Nisa writes simply and directly to people who feel overwhelmed and unsure about the next step.

She helps with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. Grief and bereavement are also areas she commonly supports. Parents who feel strained by parenting, and people dealing with eating concerns or obsessive patterns, will find a straightforward space to talk.

Background and approach

Her background includes five years of professional practice and a BACP registration. That combination means she has regular experience talking with people about distressing events and long-running difficulties. She aims to make each session easy to understand and to focus on what matters most to the client.

Nisa blends attachment-based thinking with trauma-focused work and elements of cognitive behavioural methods. This means she looks at how past relationships shape current feelings, addresses painful memories when they come up, and helps people try new ways of coping in everyday life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client.

Nisa listens for what feels most urgent and suggests practical steps the person can try between sessions. She invites people to bring their questions and works alongside them while they consider change.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect feelings now. Online sessions use conversation to notice patterns in relationships and to practice new ways of connecting with others. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT offers practical exercises and simple homework to try between meetings, which can help reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go, adapting the plan when needed.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from any location, while phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and let people choose the way they engage best.
