Fariha Hassan, BACP

Fariha Hassan is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings more than nine years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, family conflicts, relationship difficulties, loss and grief, parenting concerns, challenges with motivation, low self esteem, and aspects of neurodivergence. Her approach is rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts sessions and treatment plans to reflect each client’s individual needs and circumstances.

Fariha recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and that the first steps toward change can feel daunting. She aims to support and empower clients as they pursue a more fulfilling, happier life, offering collaborative guidance and practical strategies tailored to the goals the client brings to therapy.

Evidence-based approaches for remote support

Fariha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common strand of her work emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety - helping clients learn breathing, grounding, and cognitive strategies to manage symptoms and respond to triggers. Another strand prioritizes grief-focused and loss work - creating space to process emotions, rebuild routine, and find ways to adapt after significant change. A third area concentrates on family and parenting support - improving communication, setting boundaries, and strengthening relationships through structured conversations and problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Fariha works collaboratively with each client to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made and priorities evolve. The aim is to tailor interventions so they feel useful and relevant to the individual.

Online therapy with Fariha is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or while traveling, and to choose the format that best supports each client’s comfort and availability.
