About Nisa
Psychodynamic counsellor, BACP, with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Nisa Farooq focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, eating concerns and parenting. She uses psychodynamic approaches alongside attachment-based and trauma-focused methods to understand how past experiences affect present life.
Nisa listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people cope with distress. She explains how childhood experiences and attachment styles can shape reactions to stress and loss. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so a person can make different choices day to day.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Nisa draws on cognitive behavioural tools and solution-focused techniques when helpful, such as breaking problems into smaller steps and testing small changes between meetings. Trauma-focused methods are used where past events continue to cause strong distress.
She has a background supporting people through bereavement and works with grief alongside other concerns. Nisa also addresses issues linked to culture, immigration, prejudice and non-traditional relationship structures, and she is familiar with hoarding, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and personality-related difficulties.
Work is offered in English and Nisa accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How attachment, CBT and trauma work over video
Attachment-based work explores patterns in how people relate to others and how early bonds continue to shape feelings. In online sessions this can mean mapping repeated reactions to stress or loss and practising different responses in conversation.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. Over remote sessions a therapist might set short experiments between meetings and then review what changed.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses distress tied to past events by working at a pace the client can manage. This can include grounding techniques and careful review of memories so that intense reactions reduce over time.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on how the client responds. That collaboration helps decide whether attachment, CBT tools or trauma-focused work is most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life – for example shorter check-ins around a work break, avoiding travel time, or using audio rather than video when less bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits useful when arranging care.
