About Shamiso

BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. Shamiso Mazaiwana uses conversational, evidence-informed methods and offers help in English and Shona.

She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. Shamiso draws on client-centred listening to understand each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

Her background includes supporting people through bereavement, relationship strain, pregnancy complications, hoarding concerns and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. She keeps work focused and goal-oriented while allowing space to talk about painful experiences and losses.

Shamiso also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the reasons they want to change. When deeper patterns show up, she brings psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships influence present choices. Solution-focused strategies are used to build clear, short-term steps forward.

Sessions are offered in English and Shona. International clients are accepted. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's concerns first. The therapist listens attentively and follows what matters most to the client, helping them set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and turn those reasons into practical steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shamiso will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work. They also let people keep sessions when relocating or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals typically adapt techniques used in person to work over distance, focusing on clear goals and practical steps to achieve them.
