About Shabina

Shabina Kauser is an NCPS credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She helps people with relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and works with clients who want support in those languages.

Shabina uses straightforward talking therapy to help people sort through stressful life moments. She mixes client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when exploring motivation and patterns from the past.

She has a background working with Urdu-speaking communities and with people from Asia and the Far East. That experience shapes how she understands cultural expectations, generational trauma and family pressures. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family tensions, immigration challenges and the emotional aftermath of separation or divorce.

Sessions focus on clear, respectful conversation and small, workable steps forward. Shabina will listen to what matters to each person and suggest straightforward exercises or ways of thinking to try between meetings. She encourages practical problem solving around communication, control issues, guilt, shame and finding a sense of direction.

People often come to her feeling isolated, overwhelmed or unsure what comes next. She helps them talk through those feelings, think about options and plan simple next steps toward clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Shabina

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their feelings and priorities through open, non-directive conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test new ways of coping and reacting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce stress and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, grief and low mood.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how a person responds to different methods. Together they will try approaches and refine the plan over time, adjusting techniques to suit changing needs and aims.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work or study and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
