About Fariha

Fariha Hassan helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. She works with individuals on practical problems such as communication, control issues and coping after loss. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience.

Fariha adapts sessions to the specific issues a person brings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical discussion to identify small, manageable steps. Sessions often focus on improving communication, building coping strategies for anxiety, and addressing feelings such as guilt, shame or emptiness.

Her practice also covers immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, hearing-impaired clients, and problems that follow separation or divorce. She can help with parenting pressures and the relational strains that appear in family life. She pays attention to how cultural background affects experiences and responses.

Fariha speaks English and Urdu. She works with clients across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Her approach is straightforward and centred on what clients want to change, with regular review of progress and next steps.

Sessions are planned to suit people’s day-to-day lives and may include short practical exercises between meetings. People who prefer a clear, problem-focused way of working and who want help turning ideas into actions tend to find this useful.

How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions

Fariha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method is structured problem-solving, which breaks larger difficulties into small steps and helps people try changes between meetings. This suits issues like stress, parenting challenges and communication problems.

Another approach involves skills for managing anxiety and mood, such as paced breathing, behavioural experiments and activity planning. These techniques aim to reduce unhelpful habits and build more manageable routines, which can help with isolation, low self-esteem and grief reactions.

Fariha will work collaboratively to find which approaches suit each client. She discusses goals, tests methods in sessions, and reviews progress together to adapt the plan as needed. The choice of technique is guided by what feels useful and practical for the person.

Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as they are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. Talk to the service team when you start to confirm how sessions will be arranged and what will work best for your situation.
