How her approaches work in online sessions
Shadi works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change thinking and behaviour in clear steps. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them and trying alternative responses to reduce anxiety and self-criticism. Short behavioural experiments and simple homework help people gain confidence outside sessions.She also uses relational and attachment-informed methods to map recurring relationship patterns. These approaches look at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions, and they help people develop different ways of relating and managing jealousy, abandonment fears and control issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shadi will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on their goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
