About Shamsa
Shamsa Aslam is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions, grief and parenting challenges. She uses a person-centred approach that puts the client at the centre of sessions. She speaks English, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu to support people from different backgrounds.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to build an open space where people can talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening first, then gently exploring what matters most to the individual.
Shamsa has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs her work and how she thinks about supporting clients from diverse cultures.
In practice she helps people untangle specific problems such as hoarding, jealousy, obsessive thoughts and paranoia, alongside more common concerns like stress and grief. Conversations are shaped around what the person wants to change and what feels manageable for them.
Beginning therapy is treated as a step-by-step process. Shamsa encourages small, practical moves that can make daily life feel steadier. She supports people to notice progress and adjust the pace as needed.
How client-centred work adapts to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person and responding to their needs. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach suits problems like anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict and grief because it follows the client’s pace and priorities.Shamsa will work with each person to decide what feels right for their situation. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Together they will review goals, try different ways of working and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, check the session options before booking so you know what formats the counsellor currently offers. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing appointments during a shorter break. It can also allow for quieter conversations in a comfortable setting and make it simpler to see a counsellor who speaks your language even if they are not local. Registered or accredited professionals can support people remotely, helping them apply what comes up in sessions to everyday life.
