Who I support
Counselling shaped around the person—not a template.
You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. We can begin with what life feels like right now.

Support for young people →Adults
One-to-one counselling for anxiety, stress, low mood, loss, self-criticism, relationships, attachment and moments when life feels difficult to carry alone.

How counselling can help
You can bring whatever is on your mind.
People search for counselling or therapy for many reasons. You may be living with anxiety or low mood, finding relationships difficult, processing loss or change, masking how you really feel, or simply sensing that something is not right.
Shaz works integratively, drawing from person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. This means the work can be adapted around your needs, experiences and pace.
- Anxiety and stress
- Low mood
- Self-esteem
- Loss and change
- Relationships
- Attachment
- Autism and ADHD
- School pressures

Her experience includes therapeutic work with children and young people, adults, neurodiversity, trauma-related behaviours, self-harm awareness and suicide prevention.
Her role is not to tell you how to live. It is to listen carefully, help you understand what may be happening beneath the surface and support you as you find your own way forward.
