About Nisa Farooq

When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to see a way forward and taking the first step toward support often requires a great deal of courage. Nisa Farooq understands that initial step can feel daunting and that many people face a choice between continuing to struggle alone or developing the inner strength and self-belief needed to bring about meaningful change.

Nisa Farooq is a BACP registered and accredited psychodynamic counsellor and an experienced bereavement counsellor trained by Cruse Bereavement Care. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body that represents counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

She works collaboratively with people presenting with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship difficulties, childhood experiences, low self-esteem, grief and bereavement, addiction, narcissistic injuries, obsessive-compulsive presentations, eating disorders and body dysmorphia, and those affected by crime and trauma. Support is offered in a non-judgemental space where the focus is on listening, understanding and helping clients to improve their well-being.

Nisa aims to help clients feel heard and supported as they explore painful experiences and build coping strategies. When someone is ready to start, she is available to help them find the right person to share their journey and to take that important next step toward healing.

Can Remote Therapy Meet Your Needs?

Many people ask whether online therapy can really make a difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best: by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care.

Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals who bring their clinical skills to remote formats, and it is possible to change therapists if a different fit is needed. For many people, remote therapy provides practical access to experienced support while still allowing for meaningful therapeutic progress.
