About Shadi
Shadi Shayan draws on ten years of professional experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges and low self-esteem. She is registered with the HCPC, which is noted as her professional credential. Her approach is practical and respectful, and she aims to make first contacts feel straightforward and manageable.
Shadi adapts discussions and plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. She focuses on clear goals such as reducing anxiety, improving confidence, or handling family and parenting responsibilities.
Background and approach
Sessions use everyday language and concentrate on useful steps people can try between meetings. Beyond those main concerns, Shadi addresses issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, control struggles, feelings of emptiness, fatherhood issues and family problems. She also works with immigration-related stress, guilt and shame, jealousy, life purpose and midlife transitions.
Young adult issues, narcissism and phobias are additional areas she supports. Shadi offers therapy in English and Persian and accepts international clients. She sees starting therapy as a courageous step and aims to create a sensitive, compassionate space for people to talk things through.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, focused on helping people find more balance and clarity. Her practical focus means conversations will often lead to concrete actions. These might include coping strategies, communication skills for difficult conversations, or ways to rebuild self-worth.
Shadi encourages people to try small changes and review how those steps worked in later sessions.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will choose methods to try and regularly check whether those methods are helpful, adjusting the plan as needed.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact, fit therapy around work or family life, and use the format that suits each person best.
