About Shabina
Shabina Kauser uses a warm, person-focused approach to help people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief and low self-esteem. She brings three years of professional experience and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Her style is open and non-judgemental.
Sessions are plainspoken and practical. She invites people to share feelings and thoughts at their own pace and works alongside them to clarify goals and next steps. Shabina is comfortable talking in English, Punjabi and Urdu, and draws on cultural knowledge from South Asian communities to make discussions more relatable.
How Shabina works
She can speak Urdu fluently and reads and writes it at a basic level. She also speaks Punjabi fluently but does not read or write it. Her approach blends client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
She also uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas where they fit a person's needs. That mix helps people tackle practical problems and understand patterns that hold them back. Areas she focuses on include adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family of origin concerns.
She also supports people coping with grief, immigration issues, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Shabina offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist offers a supportive space and follows your lead to help clarify what matters to you and what you want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce distress and build new habits for handling problems like low mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce rumination and increase calm. It can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when someone wants clearer focus and emotional balance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with you and adjust methods to fit your goals, preferences and life situation so the work feels helpful and clear.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily support, or need to fit sessions around busy days. Registered or accredited professionals provide these options so people can choose what works best for them.
