About Shabina Kauser

Shabina Kauser is a UK-based NCPS credentialed professional with three years of experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, family conflicts, grief and loss, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her practice emphasizes cultural sensitivity and an understanding of generational patterns that often shape family dynamics and personal expectations.

Before qualifying as a therapist, she worked extensively within the Urdu-speaking community and uses spoken Urdu to help clients articulate and navigate internal struggles; she is fluent in spoken Urdu while describing her reading and writing level in the language as intermediate or basic. She is also fluent in Punjabi for spoken communication, though she does not read or write Punjabi. This linguistic and cultural familiarity helps her address issues common to people from the subcontinent, including parental expectations, tradition-driven constraints, and the long-term impacts of historical and social experiences.

Shabina has worked with clients from Asia and the Far East and understands how collectivist values and strong religious or traditional frameworks can affect autonomy, emotional expression, and psychological independence. Raised in a multicultural environment, she brings that background into therapy to help clients balance respect for cultural values with personal growth. She is accepting new clients and works with international clients as well.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Shabina draws on client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the core of sessions, offering a supportive, empathetic environment where people lead the pace and focus of their work. This approach is useful for exploring relationships, family concerns, and issues of identity and self-worth.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for coping and problem solving. CBT can be particularly helpful for managing low self-esteem, overwhelming emotions after loss, and adapting to life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shabina collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to cultural background, family context, and individual priorities so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Shabina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose what works best for their schedule and comfort. Working remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to access consistent support while balancing personal and family commitments.
