Shamyla Naheed, BACP

Shamyla Naheed is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She creates a welcoming space where individuals can bring difficult thoughts and emotions and explore them without fear of judgment. Shamyla emphasizes steady, compassionate support aimed at helping clients move toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

She is a member of the BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings her UK practice experience to each session. Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Shamyla works alongside clients to offer encouragement and practical guidance throughout that journey. Her approach centers on listening carefully and helping clients find clearer ways to understand and manage the issues that brought them to therapy.

Whether someone is coping with a short-term challenge or seeking longer-term change, Shamyla focuses on building a respectful therapeutic relationship that supports exploration, growth and improved emotional wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy Options

Shamyla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional exploration. One approach emphasizes skill-building to address unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, helping clients develop tools to manage stress, anxiety and low mood in daily life. Another approach centers on exploratory, supportive conversation that helps people make sense of difficult feelings, relationships and life transitions, including grief and parenting challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Shamyla collaborates with each person to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as growth and insight develop. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and useful over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can be done via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person appointments are difficult, while still working with registered professionals and therapists committed to supporting progress.
