Shabina Kauser, NCPS

Shabina Kauser uses a person-centred approach to help people work through relationship and family concerns. She combines practical tools and calm listening to support grieving, low self-esteem and big life changes. Shabina presents herself as approachable and attentive, aiming to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Shabina has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thought patterns that make problems worse, and on mindfulness to help people find steadier ground in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas inform how she explores motivation and past influences on present behaviour.

She has particular awareness of cultural and generational issues affecting people from South Asian backgrounds. That experience shapes how she listens, asks questions and suggests strategies. Shabina notes differences in reading and writing skills for Urdu and Punjabi and uses spoken language skills to enhance understanding when helpful.

Her practice includes work around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems and separation. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Shabina pays attention to both current stresses and earlier family patterns that affect emotions and choices.

Sessions are framed around what the individual wants to achieve. Shabina aims to offer straightforward tools and reflective space so people can make practical changes and feel more grounded in daily life.

How therapy approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people who need space to talk and to feel heard before trying new strategies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for low mood, anxiety and confidence issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest an approach or a combination of approaches. Decisions are made together so the plan fits the person and their situation.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and text or chat formats suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while still working on relationships, grief and self-esteem.
