Hello! My name is Shabana.
I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I provide therapy to adults and young people who are over the age of 18.
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2024 and am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I adhere to their ethical code of conduct.
In my experience, people are the experts of their own lives and have the resources within them to make the changes they wish to see. In some situations, we might work together to explore techniques to manage the feelings of anxiety or regulate emotions on a day to day basis that a client can incorporate into their toolkit.
I might offer challenge where I feel this is needed, for example, to offer a different perspective on certain limiting beliefs.
I will adapt my approach to meet each client’s individual needs. In other words, it is my belief that we are all unique and complex beings, so collaboration and client preference are key aspects of my approach.
With over twenty years experience as a Children and Families Social Worker, I've had the privilege of supporting people through a wide range of challenges, including those linked to past or present trauma. I understand the hurdles, and I'm here to help you find your way through them in a safe, non judgemental and supportive environment.
As someone from South Asian background myself, I have a deep understanding of the unique pressures that come with navigating cultural expectations, family dynamics and identity can affect the way someone views their world and experiences
. If you've experienced challenges related to culture, identity or cultural trauma, I'm here to provide a safe and empathetic space where we can explore these issues together.

As trauma informed, Integrative Relational practitioner, the key element of my work is to build a genuine working relationship with a client through being non judgemental and respectful.
At the beginning of our work together, we will discuss what the key issues are that bring a person to therapy and what approaches will potentially work best.
I will draw on a number of theories such as CBT, Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic, Person Centred or Solution Focussed therapy to name a few.
I offer face to face therapy sessions through hiring rooms at Sheffield Wellness Centre, Sheffield.
The rooms are lovely, bright and cosy spaces which are very welcoming. Unfortunately, there is no access for wheelchairs ( no lift and access is via stairs).
If you cant access face to face sessions, but want to work together on line I can offer sessions via Microsoft Teams.
As well as English, I am fluent in Mirpuri dialect of Punjabi.
