Shabina Kauser

Shabina Kauser is a credentialed professional in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, family conflicts, grief and loss, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, and confidence concerns. She aims to create an open, safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement and offers steady support for those taking the first courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Before qualifying as a therapist she gained extensive experience working within the Urdu-speaking community, and she uses the nuances of spoken Urdu to help clients explore and understand internal struggles. She is fluent in spoken Urdu while reading and writing are at an intermediate or primary level. She is also fluent in spoken Punjabi but does not read or write that language, and she brings a deep familiarity with the cultural traditions linked to both languages.

Shabina has a strong awareness of cultural constraints and generational trauma carried through families, particularly among people from the subcontinent. She recognises how historical trauma, parental expectations, and customary practices can both liberate and restrict, and she helps clients navigate those tensions while honouring their values and backgrounds.

Her practice includes experience with clients from Asia and the Far East, where religion and long-standing traditions often shape collectivist expectations and norms around emotional expression and autonomy. Having been raised in a multicultural society, she is committed to offering a respectful, culturally informed space in which clients can explore their challenges and work toward greater psychological independence.

Shabina identifies as a female, Christian, liberal therapist of colour and provides therapy from her base in the United Kingdom.
