About Shamsa
Shamsa Aslam helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, family tensions, grief and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with hoarding, jealousy, obsessive thoughts and paranoia. Shamsa greets clients in English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people from different cultural backgrounds.
She uses a person-centred approach, which means the conversation is led by the person's needs and experiences. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people make sense of what they are going through.
Background and approach
Shamsa aims to create a calm space for honest talk without judgement. In practical terms she works alongside clients to identify what matters most to them. Together they set small, realistic steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve everyday coping.
Sessions often include talking through situations, reflecting on options and trying out new ways to respond. Shamsa has four years of experience working with a range of concerns and holds BACP. She draws on that background to offer thoughtful, culturally aware support.
Her multilingual ability helps people explain themselves more comfortably when English is not their first language. Signing up for therapy can feel difficult and she recognises how brave that first step is. Shamsa encourages people to go at their own pace and keeps the focus on practical progress and clearer thinking.

Approaches Shamsa 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
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process so people can try small changes and see what works for them.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and life commitments.
