About Nisa
Nisa Farooq is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on five years of experience supporting people through distressing life events and difficult feelings. Nisa aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about what feels overwhelming.
She uses straightforward conversation to uncover practical steps and emotional patterns that matter to daily life. Sessions are paced to the individual and centred on what the person wants to change.
Background and approach
Her approach combines ideas from attachment work and cognitive behavioural methods to look at relationships and thought patterns. Trauma-focused techniques are also used when past hurt continues to affect the present. Solution-focused strategies help people identify small, achievable goals between sessions.
Common issues she addresses include low mood, anxiety, grief and eating-related concerns. She also offers support around hoarding, immigration and multicultural pressures, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, personality-related struggles, non-monogamous relationship questions, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Nisa offers conversation and practical coping tools rather than quick fixes.
She encourages people to notice small changes and build on them. When someone is ready to get started, she helps them map out next steps and a realistic plan for progress.

How attachment and practical therapies work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and ongoing relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions use conversation to map current relationship patterns and find different ways of connecting that feel safer and more helpful.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the counsellor helps identify unhelpful thinking, test it with small experiments, and build coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and eating concerns.
Solution-focused therapy emphasises small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions often end with clear, manageable actions to try before the next meeting.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan with each person based on their needs and preferences. That collaboration helps ensure the methods used match the client’s goals.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options support flexibility and ongoing access to care.
