About Fariha
Fariha Hassan welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. She helps those managing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward so people can use what they learn right away.
Her style is respectful and gentle. She adapts each plan to the person in front of her, tailoring tools and timing to suit individual needs. Fariha emphasises small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.
Fariha holds BACP accreditation in the United Kingdom and has worked in counselling for nine years. During that time she has supported people through loss, separation and migration challenges, and with worries about communication and control. She also has experience helping people who are hearing impaired.
She pays attention to cultural context and to how life changes affect wellbeing. Fariha listens for the everyday problems behind big emotions and helps people find clearer ways to respond. Practical topics often include relationships, parenting decisions and managing daily stress.
People who choose to work with her can expect collaborative sessions where goals are set together. She encourages self-compassion and gradual shifts rather than quick fixes. If you are considering therapy, she asks you to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.
Approaches that guide online work and choice
Fariha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and gentle exploration. One common strand concentrates on building coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching ways to recognise triggers and use short exercises to reduce tension. This approach helps people who need tools they can use between sessions.Another emphasis is on grief and loss work, which involves creating space to tell your story, process difficult feelings and plan steps for adjusting to change. This kind of work often mixes talking with practical actions to manage daily tasks while grieving.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. She will work with you to identify what feels most useful based on your needs, goals and preferences. That personalised decision is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be changed if something isn’t working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking because the original biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It can also let people keep to a quieter routine, use less bandwidth when needed, or choose shorter sessions for focused support.
