About Nisa

Nisa Farooq works with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and related concerns using conversational, evidence-informed counselling approaches. She describes her way of working as collaborative and practical, helping people talk through painful experiences and find clearer ways to manage day-to-day coping. Nisa is a BACP member and has five years' experience in counselling.

She sees anxiety, low mood, depression and grief alongside issues such as eating concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and trauma related to crime or abuse. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, hoarding, immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, personality difficulties, polyamory or non-monogamous relationship challenges, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Her practice draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions tend to include exploring patterns from relationships, noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small practical steps to ease symptoms. The work can include talking about difficult memories and building ways to manage strong emotions.

Nisa mentions bereavement work as part of her practice and indicates experience with loss and mourning. She uses a collaborative style where goals are agreed together and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns from earlier relationships and try different ways of relating in the present, which can reduce repeated patterns of distress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and testing of thoughts to reduce worry, low mood and compulsive behaviours, and usually includes small behavioural tasks between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to use together. This collaborative process may change over time as progress is reviewed.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or reducing the need to be on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework tasks and conversation to work well in the arrangements you choose.
