About Fariha
Fariha Hassan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family conflict, loss and grief, parenting concerns and low self-esteem. Her practice also notes experience with neurodivergence and multicultural issues.
She speaks English and Urdu and welcomes international clients. Sessions are designed to be practical and direct. She aims to help people notice what is making life harder and try different ways of coping that fit everyday life.
In sessions she talks through current problems and looks at patterns that keep them happening. That includes communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people facing immigration challenges, bereavement, divorce or separation, and hearing impairment related concerns.
Her background across nine years has given experience with parenting questions, women’s issues and jealousy or forgiveness problems. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.

Therapeutic methods and working online
Fariha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. Cognitive-based methods focus on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes - useful for anxiety and low self-esteem. Behavioural or skills-based approaches concentrate on building routines, coping strategies and communication skills to manage stress, parenting strains and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree which methods to try based on the client’s goals, preferences and how they respond. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around study or work, or helpful when they prefer a shorter check-in or do not need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to make appointments more manageable and consistent with busy lives.
