Fariha Hassan, BACP

Fariha Hassan offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, family tension, grief, parenting strains or low self‑esteem. She introduces herself simply and welcomes people who want practical help and steady support. Sessions start with the concerns you bring and focus on small, useful steps you can try between meetings.

She has nine years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. That means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards. Fariha adapts her approach to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to you and helps you break problems down into manageable parts. She pays attention to family dynamics, communication patterns, and how guilt, shame or grief affect daily life. She also offers support around immigration‑related stress, multicultural concerns and issues affecting women.

Practical tools and plain conversation are part of her style. She helps people with coping strategies for anxiety, ways to rebuild self‑worth, and steps to handle relationship and parenting frustrations. Meetings are collaborative and paced to suit you.

Fariha works in English and Urdu and is open to working with people outside the UK. If you decide to start, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions based on the therapist's schedule.

Approaches that guide online work and how they help

Fariha uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people manage anxiety and stress by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing simple alternatives in everyday life. This is useful when worry or overwhelm gets in the way of daily routines.

Another strand emphasises coping skills and problem‑solving for family and parenting challenges. This involves mapping the patterns that cause tension and trying small behavioural changes to improve communication and reduce conflict. It can also help with grief, feelings of emptiness and rebuilding self‑esteem after loss or separation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences, and together you will try methods that suit your situation. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays relevant to what you want to achieve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce commuting time and allow shorter check‑ins when you need a quick review. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, can use those options to help sessions fit more naturally into daily routines.
