Hello, I’m Shagufta Zabeer, a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor.

I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. My approach is primarily person-centred, while integrating psychodynamic and Gestalt approaches to help you gain deeper insight, heal from past experiences and create meaningful, lasting change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, life transitions and the emotional impact of unhealthy or difficult relationships. I am also neurodivergent-affirming and strive to adapt therapy to your individual needs.

As a British Pakistani Muslim therapist, I understand that culture, family expectations, identity and faith can have a significant impact on emotional wellbeing. Whether you would like to include your faith in therapy or prefer a purely therapeutic approach, I will work in a way that feels right for you, respecting your values and beliefs.

My aim is to help you feel safe, understood and accepted, so that together we can explore what’s holding you back, strengthen your self-trust and help you move towards a calmer, more fulfilling life.

I offer online therapy to adults across the UK and internationally in English, Urdu and Punjabi, creating a confidential and supportive space where you can be yourself without fear of judgement.
