About Nisa
Nisa Farooq draws on Attachment-Based and Trauma-Focused approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to help people find clearer ways forward. She is Nisa Farooq, a BACP counsellor with five years' experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. Her style is calm and practical, aimed at helping someone feel understood and able to make changes.
Nisa works with common and complex difficulties including eating concerns, obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, and the emotional toll of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also addresses hoarding, immigration and multicultural issues, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person most wants to change. Her work aims to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build new, manageable ways of coping.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with practical thinking and behaviour changes. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. Nisa also uses trauma-focused strategies when difficult events need careful attention, and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals.
She seeks to create a respectful, non-judgemental conversation where clients can talk frankly about what matters to them. Therapy is framed around the person’s needs and goals. Nisa accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the matching process.
