Nisa Farooq

I am Nisa, a qualified (BACP) accredited counsellor.

I offer support to individuals as they navigate lifes demands. You may be experiencing significant changes, or perhaps you feel stuck, exhausted, or uncertain about your next steps. It could be that you are in a relationship that is not meeting your hopes, or you find yourself questioning why relationships do not seem to work out as you had wished. You might be grappling with loss, whether personal or professional, or facing challenges with some relationships.

About me and my practice

There are times when it is hard to pinpoint exactly what you are feeling, yet you recognise that something is amiss. I am here to provide a supportive, understanding space where you can explore these feelings and begin to make sense of your experiences.

In my professional practice, I have assisted clients with a wide spectrum of concerns, including anxiety, addiction, depression, bereavement, childhood abuse, shame, anger, low self-esteem, narcissistic injuries, victimisation by crime, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and relational trauma stemming from family dynamics.

Seeking counselling and psychotherapy can be challenging, especially if it is your first time. Admitting you need help takes courage, and the initial conversation with a therapist may feel daunting, and you might feel uncertain about what to say or what the therapist can do for you.

For many, counselling can be the turning point between continuing to struggle and suffer in silence, or developing the inner strength and self-belief needed to bring about real, positive change.

Finding the right person to confide in is a vital aspect of your healing journey. When you feel ready to take that step, you are welcome to reach out to me on this directory, or visit my website at www.Mycounsellingplace.co.uk for more information.
