Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Mustabshira uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person she works with. She draws on trauma-informed approaches that prioritise safety and understanding of traumatic experiences, which can help people process past harms and reduce the ongoing impact of trauma. She also uses cognitive and behavioural strategies focused on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, useful for managing anxiety, low mood, panic, and stress. When grief and loss are central concerns, she offers compassionate, structured support to help people move through bereavement and find ways to rebuild meaning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mustabshira works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which techniques feel most helpful and appropriate. This partnership helps tailor the work so it fits the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy with Mustabshira is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow the therapeutic work to continue in ways that suit each person's life and comfort level.
