Shamim Ahmed

I am available Tuesday through Thursday, and on Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

I will be out of the office from December 29th to January 4th.

I am a person-centred therapist passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. My strongest skills lie in empathy and active listening, which allow me to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood.

In my practice, I focus on building a collaborative relationship with each client, tailoring therapy to their individual needs and goals. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside mindfulness and relaxation techniques, to support clients in managing anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges.

My aim is to empower clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight, and develop coping strategies that promote resilience and wellbeing. I am committed to walking alongside my clients at their own pace, fostering growth, confidence, and a renewed sense of self.

When you work with me, you can expect a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where your thoughts and feelings are truly heard. I will listen with empathy and respect, helping you explore your experiences at your own pace.

I aim to work collaboratively with you, tailoring therapy to your individual needs and goals. I will introduce practical strategies and evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness techniques, to help you manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and other challenges.

Throughout our sessions, my focus is on empowering you to gain insight, build resilience, and develop coping skills that support your wellbeing. You can expect consistent support, understanding, and guidance as you navigate your personal journey toward growth and positive change.

The initial session will be offered at a reduced rate of £35, as we will be completing the counselling contract and conducting your assessment. I understand that attending the first session can take courage, and I am committed to making it as comfortable and supportive as possible. We will move at a pace that feels right for you.
