About Shimana
Shimana Cassie is a clinical psychotherapist and counsellor who works from the United Kingdom. She brings four years of practice to her work and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her way of working is practical and people-focused, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.
Shimana often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, parenting strain and changes at work.
Background and approach
She is experienced supporting people facing trauma, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties and the particular strains that can come from caring roles. Her approach mixes evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person and practical steps to feel better between appointments. Shimana aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where feelings can be talked through. She offers a calm, listening style and works at a pace set by the person seeking support.
Conversations are used to identify patterns, try small experiments and build coping tools. Work is shaped around each person’s priorities. Shimana discusses options and tailors a plan to meet those goals.
She welcomes people who are unsure where to start and helps them take the next steps. Sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, so people can choose what suits them best.

Online approaches that focus on values and relationships
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small steps towards what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and tests new ways of responding. It often helps with anxiety, sleep and mood problems by using practical exercises and behaviour experiments.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and how they shape close relationships. It aims to improve emotional understanding and connection, which can reduce conflict and increase trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and try methods that fit those aims. Plans are reviewed together and adjusted if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from their chosen location. Phone sessions suit times when a camera is not practical and can be less demanding on bandwidth. Live chat and messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility needs.
