About Nisa
Nisa Farooq uses an approach that centres on connections and patterns from early relationships alongside practical, goal-focused techniques. She draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed. Nisa aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.
She is known for clear, direct support and steady presence during difficult moments. Nisa has five years of experience working with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, eating difficulties and parenting strain.
Background and approach
She also addresses hoarding, immigration issues, multicultural challenges, obsessions and compulsions, personality difficulties, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and prejudice or discrimination. Her background includes BACP registration, which she holds as a practising counsellor in the United Kingdom. In sessions she combines short-term, solution-focused work with deeper trauma-focused and attachment-informed conversation.
That means some meetings concentrate on immediate steps and coping skills, while others look at long-standing patterns that affect relationships and mood. Clients can expect practical strategies alongside time to reflect. Nisa offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to choose the format that feels most comfortable. International clients may also be supported in English. People who come to Nisa often want straightforward help to manage low mood, reduce anxiety, or process loss and painful experiences.
She encourages collaborative goal-setting so work in therapy stays relevant to each person’s life and priorities.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nisa discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjusts methods as the relationship develops. This collaborative process means plans can shift from short-term solutions to deeper exploration if that better matches the client’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when someone finds typing a helpful way to express themselves. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel.
