Client-Centered Care and Online Support
Shamma primarily uses client-centered and humanistic approaches that place the individual’s experience at the heart of therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a warm, non-directive space where the therapist listens deeply and reflects what the client shares so the client can explore their feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for issues such as identity concerns, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and grief, where understanding personal meaning is central.
Her humanistic orientation emphasises respect for each person’s autonomy and cultural background, making it easier to address sensitive topics like faith-related challenges or culturally shaped shame. The therapist and client work together to determine which methods best match the client’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative process rather than prescribing a single solution.
Online therapy with Shamma is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make accessing support more flexible and convenient. These options allow appointments to fit around work, family and geographic constraints, and they can help clients maintain continuity of care even when travel or schedules make in-person work difficult. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt session formats and pacing to suit the client’s situation and goals.
