About Mustabshira
Mustabshira Durrani is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression, and speaks English. Her practice emphasises helping people notice different perspectives on their lives and choices.
Durrani aims to help people find clearer ways of understanding themselves and their situations. She typically works through painful memories and difficult feelings so clients can resolve old hurts and move forward. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at revealing options a person might not have seen before.
Sessions with her encourage exploring uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without judgement. She draws on her own experience of struggling and recovering to relate to clients who feel stuck, anxious or hopeless. The therapist uses practical discussion and reflection to support gradual change.
Clients can expect a steady, attentive approach that focuses on present concerns and past events that still cause pain. Work often includes looking at attachment and abandonment themes, self-blame, guilt and shame, and patterns that affect relationships and confidence.
Durrani also addresses issues connected to chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and life direction. She supports people dealing with panic, mood problems and post-traumatic stress by helping them identify manageable steps and new ways of coping.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Evidence-based approaches often used to address trauma focus on processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on day-to-day life. This can involve carefully talking through the events that continue to cause pain while building skills to manage strong emotional reactions.Another common method concentrates on anxiety and stress by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical coping strategies. That work typically teaches simple techniques for calming panic, organising worries and testing out new behaviours in small steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day’s routine. Many people find remote work helpful for maintaining regular contact while they try new ways of coping.
