About Shamma
Shamma Khatun uses a humanistic, client-centred way of working. She places each person at the centre of the conversation and listens to how they see their life. Shamma speaks English and Bengali and brings six years of counselling experience based in the United Kingdom.
She helps people facing grief and identity concerns, including deep feelings of loss or existential worry. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to cultural and faith-related issues that can be hard to raise elsewhere. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people make sense of their feelings.
She respects each person’s autonomy and aims to create a space where they can explore options and choices. Shamma has worked in a range of settings including schools, a hospice and community services that support people through faith transition. That background informs her work with bereavement, life transitions and sensitive cultural topics.
She describers herself as an empathic counsellor who will not tell clients how to live their lives. She is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Shamma offers counselling by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to people in the UK and internationally.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

Approaches Shamma lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Shamma will work collaboratively to find the right way of working. She will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to be supported, then adapt the approach as you go. Deciding on the best fit is part of the therapy process and happens together with the counsellor.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations where seeing each other helps connection. Phone sessions can be useful for quieter audio-only chats or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexibility around busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, caring duties or travel, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
