About Shamma

Shamma Khatun is a humanistic counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She listens carefully and helps people make sense of difficult feelings such as grief, anxiety and low mood. Shamma brings six years of experience supporting people through life changes and relationship stresses.

She focuses on bereavement and identity concerns that can lead to despair or an existential crisis. Cultural and faith-related issues are an important part of her work, especially when shame or taboo make those topics hard to discuss.

Background and approach

She also helps people coping with trauma, abuse and parenting strain. Sessions are built around the person in front of her. The counsellor uses open listening and reflective conversation to help clients notice patterns and decide what they want to change.

Shamma respects each person’s autonomy and avoids directing life choices for them. Her background includes work in hospices supporting bereaved people, in high school settings with young adults, and with organisations that support people adjusting to a change of faith. These roles shaped her sensitivity to cultural and faith issues.

Shamma is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and Bengali and works with people dealing with family problems, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts, self-harm and feelings of isolation. People who choose to work with her can expect a straightforward, non-judgemental space to talk.

The aim is to help clients understand how they see themselves and then move towards the changes they want.

Ways of working Shamma names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps the person notice their own answers. This approach suits people facing grief, identity questions, relationship strain and anxiety because it makes space for their experience.

Shamma’s humanistic background means she values cultural and faith contexts when they shape a person’s story. She will work collaboratively to choose how sessions proceed and to find the right way of working for each client. Deciding on the best approach is part of the work together, based on needs, goals and personal preference.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let clients use visual cues and mirror an in-person session, while phone sessions can be better when a quieter call is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing updates or for people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring roles or travel, and support clients in different time zones.
