Shima is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and experienced in working with a wide range of mental health problems such as depression, social anxiety, PTSD, generalised anxiety, alcohol abuse and adjustment to long term health conditions amongst others.

Shima has been accredited with the British Association for Cognitive & Behavioural Psychotherapies (BABCP) since 2013 and has 9 years post qualification experience, with much of her clinical work taking place within an NHS setting. She also works with a student population at a London based university providing both Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support students with mental health difficulties through their academic careers. She has a keen interest in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and has been integrating the approach into her clinical work over the last 4 years and finds it to be a very rewarding experience.

Shima aims to provide a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore and reflect upon thoughts and feelings, and to facilitate the change process in a way that feels collaborative, respectful and in line with the goals of the individuals that she works with.
