Fariha Hassan
Practical support for stress and family concerns
About Fariha
Fariha Hassan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief and low self-esteem. Fariha writes in clear, direct terms and aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives.
She approaches each person as an individual and adapts work to what helps them most. That might mean short-term strategies for coping with panic or longer conversations about family patterns and parenting worries.
Background and approach
The aim is to build simple tools and realistic steps to feel steadier day to day. Over nine years of practice in the United Kingdom have given her experience with a wide range of concerns.
Alongside core areas such as family problems and relationship communication, she supports people dealing with immigration stress, isolation, cultural pressures and challenges faced by those who are hearing impaired. Sessions are conducted in English and Urdu to suit bilingual clients. Fariha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and shapes them to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
She treats people with sensitivity and respect and takes time to understand their story. If you are weighing a change, she helps map practical next steps. That can include coping plans for difficult moments, ways to rebuild self-worth, or clearer approaches to communication and boundaries.
The work aims to feel useful between sessions as well as during them.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety in the moment; this helps when stress feels overwhelming or when panic appears suddenly. Another approach centres on talking through family patterns and communication problems to find new ways of setting boundaries and dealing with conflict; this is useful for parenting strain, divorce or ongoing family tensions.Finding the right method is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss your current needs and try approaches that fit your goals and comfort level. If a particular style does not feel helpful, she will adjust the plan and try alternatives so you can see what makes a difference.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work or study commitments.
