Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Nisa commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses, which can help with relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and anxiety. CBT is a practical, skills-oriented approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, helping people manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood and obsessive patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences so that their emotional impact is reduced and everyday functioning can improve.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nisa works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to suit individual circumstances and focuses on what will be most helpful for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals and therapists whether someone is at home, travelling, or living abroad, while still maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship and progress toward personal goals.
