Support for stress, anxiety and life change
About Shamyla
Shamyla Naheed is a counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to make first steps towards change feel manageable and supports clients through those early decisions.
She creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can bring relief.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Her work also covers grief, parenting pressures, anger and low self-esteem. She helps people facing problems such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image concerns.
She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, communication breakdowns and relationship endings. Other areas Shamyla addresses include guilt, shame, control issues and feelings of isolation or lack of purpose. She listens for patterns that cause repeated distress and helps clients try different ways of coping.
The aim is to build small changes that add up to clearer thinking and steadier days. Sessions are held in English and are available online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Shamyla works with each person to set realistic goals and practical next steps.
She describes beginning therapy as a collaborative process focused on what the client needs right now.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Shamyla uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day coping. One commonly used approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try more balanced ones, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on managing strong emotions and learning practical skills to respond differently to stress and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and test methods that suit their situation. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as things change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let a person talk face to face when they prefer visual contact. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need a way to connect between calls. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility needs and to continue progress from different locations.
