About Shamiso

Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She works in English and Shona and offers online and phone sessions from the United Kingdom. Shamiso draws on seven years of experience to support people facing anxiety, depression, stress and grief.

She focuses on practical steps people can take between sessions. That might mean small experiments, noticing patterns or trying a different way of talking about a problem.

Background and approach

Shamiso also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, issues linked to family of origin, commitment worries and the fallout from separation or divorce. Trauma, abuse and complex losses are part of her caseload. She uses trauma-informed ideas alongside cognitive behavioural tools to help people manage distressing memories and strong emotions.

Motivational Interviewing may be used to support changes in behaviour and to boost motivation during difficult transitions. In sessions she aims for clear, straightforward conversation. People can expect to set realistic goals and review progress over time.

Shamiso adapts her style to what each person finds most useful, whether that is longer discussion or focused, solution-oriented work. Her practice also covers concerns such as caregiver stress, codependency, hoarding, immigration-related difficulties, money worries and midlife reassessment. Shamiso explains options and works with people to agree a plan that fits their situation.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what they hear and helps people make sense of their feelings, which can be particularly useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and manageable tasks to change unhelpful patterns, and these tasks work well between video or phone sessions.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation and set small, realistic goals that suit the person’s life.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods and check in about what helps. Over a few sessions they will shape a plan that matches the client's goals, preferences and practical circumstances.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy around everyday life.
