About Mustabshira

Mustabshira Durrani is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of professional experience and BACP registration. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low mood and grief, and aims to help people find a clearer perspective on their lives. Her approach is caring and straightforward, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between sessions.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Conversations cover things like trauma and abuse, confidence and motivation, and problems with panic or mood. The goal is to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck and discover new options. Mustabshira draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, communication problems, and the effects of chronic illness or caregiver stress.

She helps people make sense of guilt, shame, isolation and life transitions in ways that feel manageable. Sessions look at practical changes as well as emotional healing. Clients work together with her to resolve old hurts and build small, achievable steps towards feeling more content.

She writes that her own life experience informs a compassionate, sensitive style. People who value a warm, steady counsellor and clear, gentle guidance often find her approach helpful. She supports those who want to move from feeling overwhelmed to finding clearer choices and more consistent hope.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Mustabshira lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Many of the techniques used are evidence-based and focus on changing day-to-day patterns that keep people struggling. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, more balanced thinking - this can reduce anxiety and low mood by giving practical ways to test worries. Another approach concentrates on processing distressing events and the feelings that follow, helping people reduce the impact of trauma and regain control over daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk about the options, listen to your goals, and adjust methods as you go. Together you will choose what feels most useful for your situation and adapt it over time if needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions work well when face-to-face conversation matters, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help fit therapy around work, family or health needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
