About Shamiso
Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor who works in a warm, person-focused way. She uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Shamiso holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside seven years of practice supporting clients.
She offers practical tools alongside reflective discussion. Shamiso draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help change thoughts and routines that keep problems going.
Shamiso has experience with grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and attachment. She also supports people facing career strain, money worries, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, blended family concerns and immigration-related stress.
Sessions are described as conversational and goal-focused when needed. Shamiso adapts the pace to each person, balancing short-term coping strategies with deeper exploration when that feels right. She aims to make therapy something that can be fitted into everyday life without pressure.
People who choose her often want clear steps as well as space to talk. She offers support in English and Shona and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Shamiso’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's concerns at the centre and focuses on clear listening and acceptance. Online sessions using this approach give time to talk through feelings and priorities, and they help identify what matters most in everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers hands-on strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and routines. In an online setting CBT work can include setting small experiments, practising new behaviours between sessions and reviewing what does and does not help.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused way of working that helps people find reasons to change. It can be useful for decisions about relationships, career moves or breaking patterns linked to codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shamiso will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques can change as progress happens.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking.
