Background and approach

The work often focuses on small, practical steps that make daily life easier. Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, isolation and struggles with life purpose. She also supports people affected by immigration, domestic violence, communication problems and intellectual disability related concerns.

Sessions address both the immediate problem and patterns that keep it coming back. Fariba conducts sessions in English and Bengali. She uses a mix of conversation, practical strategies and reflective work to help clients feel steadier.

The aim is to build skills people can use after sessions end. People start by sharing what matters most to them and what they want to change. Fariba stays focused on realistic goals and helps people track progress.

The approach is collaborative, steady and solution-minded.

How practical therapy meets online access

Fariba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on day-to-day coping and relationships. One common approach is behavioural-based work that teaches simple steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress through changes in routine and activity. Another commonly used method addresses attachment and communication patterns, helping people improve how they relate to others and handle relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fariba works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs and preferences. She will check in and adapt the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to see each other. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits people who want brief check-ins or to reflect in writing. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily life.
