Shabina Kauser
Supportive person-centred counsellor for family and relationships
About Shabina
Shabina Kauser uses a person-centred approach to help people untangle relationship and family concerns. She aims to build a trusting space where people can talk about grief, self-esteem, motivation and major life changes. Her style is conversational and practical, made to suit someone taking a nervous first step into therapy.
Shabina has three years of experience working in the United Kingdom and with communities from Asia and the Far East.
Background and approach
She is familiar with cultural expectations and generational patterns that can shape how people think and feel. That background informs how she listens and responds in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding.
Mindfulness tools are used to help calm racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to find momentum for change. Shabina also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past family patterns influence current relationships.
Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice patterns, try different responses and build clearer goals. She pays attention to cultural context when those issues are part of the difficulty. She communicates in English, Punjabi and spoken Urdu and can offer support where those languages help people express themselves.
Shabina welcomes people with concerns around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, immigration challenges, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Her NCPS credential is listed as part of her professional details. To start, users follow the platform steps to match and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Shabina
Shabina uses a person-centred approach that puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This means she listens closely and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice different reactions to real-life situations; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship-related thinking.Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. These tools are helpful for managing stress and staying present during difficult moments. The therapist works collaboratively, checking in about which methods feel most helpful and adapting the approach to the person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel, and they allow continuity for people who are based internationally or moving between locations.
