About Shazia
Shazia Datoobhoy helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and body image concerns, anger, and major life changes. Shazia works with a broad set of related challenges such as attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, dissociation and communication problems.
She uses practical conversation to help people understand how they tick. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, making sense of past events and finding small changes that ease day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Shazia offers a calm, steady presence and encourages reflection rather than handing down answers. Her approach draws on client-centred and narrative ideas to put the person’s story at the heart of therapy. She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused methods to look at deeper emotional patterns, and Internal Family Systems to gently map different parts of an individual’s inner world.
These methods are used to address trauma, relational difficulties and recurring emotional states. Shazia has four years’ experience and holds BACP registration, which she carries into her work in the United Kingdom. She conducts sessions in English and Hindi and accepts international clients.
People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what fits their needs. To begin people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions through the site. Fees vary with location and session frequency and are billed by subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions help separate the problem from the person and allow new, more helpful narratives to emerge. This can be especially helpful for issues like shame, identity and long-standing patterns in relationships.
Shazia will work collaboratively to find the best approach. She discusses the options, listens to what matters most and adjusts methods to match each person’s goals and preferences. Figuring out fit is part of the journey rather than a one-time choice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who find text easier to express themselves.
