About Shamiso
Shamiso Mazaiwana uses a client-centred style that puts each person’s experience first. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of what is happening now. Shamiso works in English and Shona and brings seven years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.
Her approach mixes straightforward conversation with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Background and approach
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. Shamiso supports people with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, bereavement, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues.
Other areas she commonly addresses include self-esteem, career pressures, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She has additional experience with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family matters, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment problems, divorce and separation, family of origin difficulties, hoarding and immigration issues. Infidelity, isolation or loneliness, jealousy, midlife crisis and money worries are also within her focus.
Sessions are conversational and tailored to what each person needs. Shamiso and the person she is working with agree on goals and try practical steps between sessions. Her style aims to be warm, direct and goal-focused while keeping attention on personal values and what matters most.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Shamiso will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative discussion helps pick methods that fit the person’s situation and what they want to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs a quicker check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want short, frequent check-ins. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel.
