About Shabina
Shabina Kauser offers a warm, person-focused approach to therapy. She draws on client-centred methods to help people talk through relationship and family worries, grief, self-esteem concerns and major life changes. Shabina speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and understands cultural pressures that can shape choices and emotions.
She has three years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, including the Urdu-speaking community and those from South Asian cultures. That experience informs how she listens and responds, especially around parental expectations, cultural traditions and intergenerational trauma.
Background and approach
Shabina uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build small, practical changes. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support clearer decision making and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing feelings rooted in family history. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Conversations are paced to your needs and aim to make difficult topics easier to manage. Practical suggestions, short exercises and reflective conversation are all options depending on the goal. Shabina works with adoption and foster care challenges, blended family issues, communication and control problems, immigration concerns and the effects of loss or separation.
She also supports people dealing with isolation, guilt, shame and questions about life purpose. People who choose to work with her can expect a culturally aware counsellor who values respect and curiosity. She encourages gradual progress and helps people find steps that fit their life and values.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shabina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their situation. She collaborates on what feels useful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. Together these options aim to make consistent support practical and accessible for a range of needs.
