About Shamsa

Shamsa Aslam works on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and parenting using a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Shamsa places the person at the centre of counselling. She focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings and practical worries. Sessions are intended to offer a non-judgemental space for talking about what matters most.

She has supported people with hoarding, jealousy, obsessions, compulsions and paranoia alongside more common worries such as stress and anxiety. She also works with multicultural concerns and encourages discussion of cultural background when relevant.

Shamsa speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, which can help when language or cultural context matters. She has experience working with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She listens, reflects what she hears and helps people identify next steps they feel ready to try. Practical matters such as coping with grief or managing relationship tensions are discussed in clear, everyday terms.

To get started, a person completes the provider's matching steps and then schedules a first session. Shamsa encourages people to take that initial step when they feel ready, and she will work with them to set the focus for therapy.

How her counselling approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears and supports people to make choices that fit their situation. This approach is often used for issues such as stress, relationship tensions, grief and cultural concerns.

Working out which approach suits a person comes through conversation. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then they will try approaches together to find what helps best. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy continues.

If you want to use online counselling, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people include language needs such as sessions in Hindi, Punjabi or Urdu where helpful. Confirm the exact session options when you schedule the first appointment.
