Shazia Shaikh

In my role as a Counselling Psychologist, I provide psychological assessment, case formulation, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions to individuals across diverse age groups and settings. I conduct intake evaluations, develop individualized treatment plans, and deliver therapy for concerns such as anxiety, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, and performance-related challenges using approaches like CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy. I follow a client-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach, creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters trust, self-awareness, and meaningful behavioural change. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques, resilience-building strategies, and emotional intelligence interventions to support overall wellbeing. Additionally, I use creative and expressive therapies, including art- and play-based techniques, particularly for clients who benefit from non-verbal modes of expression. Beyond individual counselling, I design and facilitate group therapy sessions and structured wellbeing programmes focused on stress management, burnout prevention, and workplace wellbeing. My role involves close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, maintaining accurate clinical documentation, and adhering strictly to ethical and professional standards. I am experienced in both in-person and remote counselling, ensuring accessible, flexible, and outcome-focused psychological care.
