About Shamyla

Shamyla Naheed is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to create a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.

Taking the first step towards change can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process. Shamyla works with people on a wide range of concerns, including grief, parenting challenges, anger and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. Practical everyday problems like communication breakdowns, control struggles and isolation are part of her caseload too. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what helps in the moment.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to the personal history that shapes difficult feelings. She helps people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Shamyla offers therapy in English and provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

She works within a subscription model where sessions are scheduled according to availability and can be cancelled at any time. People who are unsure where to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire to make a start. From there, scheduling is arranged to fit the client and therapist availability.

How Shamyla’s approaches work in online therapy

Shamyla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding to stress and low mood; it is useful for anxiety and depression because it targets day-to-day thoughts and behaviours. Another strand of her work looks at attachment and abandonment themes, helping clients understand relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options in early sessions and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to adjust.

Online delivery offers practical benefits. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from any suitable location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options can make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
