Mustabshira Durrani, BACP

Mustabshira uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach helps people understand how past experiences shape current reactions, and then tries new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. This can be useful for anxiety, panic and attachment issues. Another approach concentrates on managing strong emotions in the moment by teaching simple breathing and grounding exercises and by building small routines that improve mood and daily functioning. This can help with stress, mood disorders and symptoms after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that suit your situation and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant to their needs and pace.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and work more like an in-person session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who find writing helps them think more clearly. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while still receiving consistent care from registered or accredited professionals.
