About Shabina
Counsellor Shabina Kauser is registered with NCPS and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also helps with adoption and foster care issues and blended family challenges.
Shabina uses conversational, client-centred ways of working so people can speak about what matters to them. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants more momentum to make changes.
She has a long history of work with Urdu-speaking communities and uses spoken Urdu to help people name their feelings. She is fluent in Punjabi for speech but does not read or write it. She also speaks English and accepts international clients who can work in these languages.
Shabina is aware of cultural pressures and generational trauma that affect family relationships. She talks through family of origin issues, communication problems, control struggles and the practical fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose.
Practical sessions are straightforward and focused on the current concern. She combines short-term problem solving with deeper psychodynamic thinking when helpful. People are encouraged to set small goals and review progress together.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shabina uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what the client brings and to encourage open discussion of feelings and values. This approach helps when people need to talk through relationship tensions or family expectations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and test small changes in behaviour, which can be useful for low mood, anxiety and confidence issues.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that suit the concern. Clients and the counsellor review progress and adjust the plan as needed so sessions remain practical and relevant.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day and reduce travel time. Some formats are quicker check-ins while others allow longer conversations and the option to use voice rather than video. Ask about what is possible so you can choose the arrangement that fits your routine.
