Shadi Shayan is a counsellor with HCPC registration and ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and parenting strain. She also supports people working on motivation, self-esteem and confidence.

Shadi speaks English and Persian and accepts international clients. Shadi uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to work through immediate worries first. She listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, manageable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions often look at patterns that affect relationships, feelings of emptiness, or difficulties with control and jealousy. She draws attention to how past attachments and experiences of abandonment shape current reactions. That can be useful when someone struggles with guilt, shame or fatherhood issues.

Shadi also offers practical strategies for phobias, life purpose questions and midlife transitions. Immigration-related stress and family problems are discussed with sensitivity to cultural background. Work on self-love and young adult issues is tailored to the person’s pace and goals.

Shadi adapts her approach to suit different preferences for talking or reflective exercises. The first sessions focus on understanding what matters most and agreeing clear steps. People can expect a mix of talking, problem solving and simple behavioural tasks to try between sessions.

The aim is to help people feel steadier and more confident in daily life.

How Shadi’s approaches work online

Shadi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical change. One common approach looks at attachment and how early bonds affect current relationships; it helps with feelings of abandonment, jealousy and repetitive conflicts. Another approach emphasises skills for managing anxiety and stress through simple, everyday exercises and step-by-step behavioural tasks that reduce overwhelm and increase confidence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods and adjust plans together. Over a few sessions they decide which techniques feel most useful and refine the work as needs change.

Online therapy offers real flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for real-time typed discussion, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules or locations change.
