About Shamsa
Shamsa Aslam is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family tensions, grief and parenting pressures. She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the centre of each session. Conversations are paced to the individual and aimed at helping them feel heard and understood.
In sessions she focuses on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. That practical, steady approach helps people who are facing big life changes or daily pressures. She also talks things through with people coping with hoarding, jealousy, obsessive thoughts and paranoid feelings.
Shamsa has four years of experience working with people from different cultural backgrounds. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which helps when language matters to the conversation. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP in professional records.
She encourages small first steps and works at a pace that suits each person. Conversations are shaped by what the client wants to focus on, whether that is managing anxiety, sorting family conflict, or processing loss. The aim is to help people gain clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping.
To begin, people are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy process to match with her and arrange sessions when convenient. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her person-centred approach works online
Shamsa uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. In practice she aims to create conversations where people can set the pace, name what matters to them, and work through strong emotions such as anxiety, grief or relationship stress.The person-centred way is gentle and practical. It helps when someone needs a steady space to make sense of difficult feelings, talk about family or parenting worries, or address obsessive and jealous thoughts. The therapist’s multilingual ability can also help when language shapes how someone describes their experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will collaborate with each person to decide what helps most. Together they look at goals, preferences and what feels manageable in day-to-day life, then try ways of working that match those needs.
