Shirin Latif, BACP

Shirin Latif helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure how to move forward. She offers calm, straightforward support for anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. Her style is gentle and practical, focused on helping people talk through what matters and build clearer ways of coping.

Shirin uses ideas from attachment work to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. She draws on client-centred principles to follow what each person needs in a session and psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns. Mindfulness ideas are mixed in to help people manage strong feelings in the moment.

Her work often centres on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and managing worries about intimacy and self-worth. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep or eating struggles, and career-related stress. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, caregiver stress, body image and chronic illness.

Shirin is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom. She has four years of clinical experience and meets people in English. International clients can be seen where arrangements allow.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit their timing. Shirin aims to create a steady, readable path forward rather than rushing for quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Shirin often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect with others.

She also works from a client-centred perspective, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. That way the focus stays on what feels most urgent or important to the individual during each meeting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and decide with the client which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short live chat exchanges suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and life commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
