About Shadi

Shadi Shayan is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She has ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and supports people working on parenting, motivation, self esteem and confidence. Shadi speaks English and Persian and accepts international clients.

Shadi starts by listening closely to each person’s situation and priorities. She adapts conversations and plans so they match what matters most to the client. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. The aim is to help people make steady changes they can use at home and in daily life.

Across her work Shadi has supported people facing abandonment and attachment issues, control and jealousy struggles, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. She has also helped with fatherhood concerns, immigration-related stress and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Her approach is sensitive and respectful, with attention to how family problems and parenting pressures affect everyday wellbeing.

Shadi describes therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set goals and try approaches that feel right for their situation. Progress is reviewed together so plans can change when needed.

Her credential is HCPC, which indicates registration with a UK regulatory body. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based work adapts to online therapy

Shadi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear practical steps. One common approach emphasises identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this helps people notice thoughts that fuel worry and test alternatives in daily life. Another useful approach centres on behavioural strategies such as small activity changes and problem-solving to reduce stress and build confidence; this suits people who want concrete actions to try between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed together and adjusted if something is not working, so therapy stays relevant to the client’s needs.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and helping people join from different locations. It also enables continuity for international clients who wish to continue work while moving or travelling. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help match the format to what will work best.
