About Shabina
Shabina Kauser NCPS is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She helps people deal with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She speaks English, Punjabi and Urdu and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and mindfulness approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative responses. Conversations are practical and problem-focused, with time spent on communication skills and decision making.
Shabina draws on experience supporting Urdu-speaking communities and people from South Asian and Far Eastern backgrounds. She explains cultural pressures and generational expectations plainly, and she pays attention to how those forces shape choices and emotions. She is able to use spoken Urdu and Punjabi in sessions though reading and writing in those languages may be limited.
Her work also covers adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, immigration-related stress and the emotional effects of divorce or separation. She can help people facing isolation, guilt, shame or questions about life purpose. Practical steps and short exercises are used to build coping skills.
Sessions often include motivational interviewing techniques to identify goals and psychodynamic ideas to consider family of origin patterns. The focus is on clear, manageable steps that fit everyday life rather than abstract theory. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Shabina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT sessions tend to be structured, with clear goals and practice exercises people can try between meetings.She also draws on client-centred methods, which involve listening carefully and reflecting a person’s concerns back so priorities become clearer. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention exercises that reduce emotional reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow conversations in the language the client prefers, such as spoken Urdu or Punjabi, when appropriate.
