About Shamiso
Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Shona and works from the United Kingdom. Shamiso draws on seven years' experience to listen, reflect and help clients find clearer ways forward.
She offers straightforward, conversational support for grief, trauma and loss. People come to her for help with family-of-origin issues, separation and divorce, intimacy and attachment worries, and midlife concerns. Money and financial issues are also part of her focus alongside career stress and compassion fatigue.
Shamiso uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work when helpful. She also brings psychodynamic thinking to consider how past patterns shape present difficulties. Motivational interviewing is available to support change and decision-making.
In session she favours a calm, open tone and practical steps that fit into day-to-day life. Conversations aim to spot small patterns, try manageable changes, and build on what already works. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.
Her registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session that fits their schedule.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor mirrors what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like grief, low self-esteem and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety or depression and to address unhelpful habits around money and stress.
She will work together with the client to identify which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That process is collaborative - goals and methods are shaped by the client's needs, pace and priorities rather than imposed from the start.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and less travel, which can help fit sessions into busy lives. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are set by the counsellor. Online sessions can be a good way to keep continuity during life changes and to try shorter check-ins when a full appointment is difficult to arrange.
