Shim is an extremely approachable, knowledgeable, supportive and professional therapist. She provides a safe space for me to bring my reflections to and thought-provoking questions to discover underlying assumptions I may have of the world and myself. She's also very helpful in providing various forms of tools to help manage my anxiety and fully engaged in our sessions. I would highly recommend Shim as a therapist:)

Hello, a massive warm welcome to you!
My name is Shimana Cassie. I am a Clinical Psychotherapist & Counsellor and the Founding Clinical Director of Psychology of You Clinic in London, United kingdom.
I have a depth of professional work experience delivering bespoke high quality therapeutic services to a vast range of client groups, within private, statutory, and voluntary organisations.
I have worked with a variety of presentations and specialise in supporting clients with Depression, Anxiety, Low Mood, Relationships, Interpersonal Difficulties, and Trauma, alongside other presenting issues. I used evidence-based practices including Humanistic, Person-Centred Therapy, Integrative Approaches, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Approaches, and Mindfulness to inform an individualised plan to suit clients on a case by case basis.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and your journey in finding you.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

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.
