About Shabina
Shabina Kauser is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She offers sessions in English, Punjabi and Urdu and accepts international clients.
She uses straightforward, conversational methods to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions usually focus on practical steps, clearer communication and managing strong emotions. She draws on client-centred therapy to follow what matters to the person and on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Her background includes community work with Urdu-speaking groups. That experience shapes how she understands cultural expectations, generational trauma and the pressures of parental demands. She often helps people who feel constrained by family customs or by the expectations of their culture.
Shabina also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family tensions, immigration-related stress and the emotional fallout from separation or domestic violence. She pays attention to how guilt, shame and family-of-origin patterns affect current choices.
Practical support is part of her approach. She uses mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change. Clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire to match with sessions and then schedule a first appointment. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online sessions
Shabina commonly uses client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them to name and make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different ways of responding to problems.She also makes use of mindfulness techniques to help reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation. These simple practices aim to bring attention to the body and breath and to create small breaks from racing thoughts, which can be useful for grief, stress and relationship tension.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client’s goals and day-to-day life, adapting as needed over time rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting or work commitments, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals often find that doing therapy online helps people keep continuity of support while handling practical demands at home.
