More about Shazia
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I offer my clients a safe and confidential space to not only learn about themselves and understand "how they tick" but also find ways to live happier and more fulfilling lives. I specialise in trauma - PTSD and complex trauma and currently pursuing a PG Diploma in Traumatology.
My role will be to accompany you and support you on this journey of self discovery and self acceptance. I believe that we know ourselves best and by asking the right questions, encouraging you to reflect on your responses, explore how your past has impacted your present and help you find ways to make changes that you feel will have a positive impact on your emotions, behaviours and responses.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
