About Shirin
Shirin Latif is a counsellor who focuses on helping people untangle difficult relationship patterns and emotional strain. She works with individuals and couples who feel stuck by conflict, silence, or a loss of closeness. Shirin writes plainly and aims to create space for honest conversation without judgement.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current reactions. That helps people understand why they may shut down, push away, or cling when stressed.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred listening, allowing clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions. Shirin combines practical, experience-rooted support with reflections on meaning and identity. Existential ideas are used to help clients think about values, choice, and the shape of their life when facing big changes.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to ground people in the moment and reduce anxious reactivity. Her background includes four years of counselling practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works online with people across the United Kingdom and internationally, running sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People come to Shirin for a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to grief, trauma, ADHD, addiction and relationship strain. She aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build clearer ways of communicating with themselves and others.

How her approaches work online and what to expect
Shirin uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships influence current reactions. That approach focuses on patterns of closeness and distance and can help with trust, arguing, or repeated break-downs in communication.She also practises client-centred counselling which puts the person in charge of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, which can be useful for sorting through emotions like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Shirin will discuss different methods and try things together to see what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the focus as progress is made so work remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls are good for a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life, or other commitments and allow continuity when travel or relocation occurs.
