About Shamma
She has particular expertise in bereavement and identity difficulties that can lead to deep despair or existential questioning, and she takes a sensitive approach to faith crises and cultural issues that clients may find difficult to discuss because of shame or taboo. Her practice centers on putting the client at the heart of the work so that their own perspective guides the therapeutic process. Rather than imposing interpretations, she listens to how each person understands their life and explores together how they feel about the present and how they might want things to be different.
Shamma aims to offer an empathic and honest counselling experience, respecting clients' autonomy and independence while listening carefully to their concerns. She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. She adheres to that ethical framework in her work.
Client-Centered Care and Online Therapy Options
Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the therapeutic relationship, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s autonomy. It helps people explore their feelings and self-perception, making it useful for issues such as identity struggles, grief, relationship concerns, and low self-esteem.
Humanistic counselling complements this by focusing on the whole person and their capacity for growth. It supports individuals facing life transitions, existential questions, and situations where cultural or faith-related concerns make it hard to speak openly.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, which can be especially helpful for those managing caregiving responsibilities, work commitments, or international arrangements.
