About Shadi
Shadi Shayan is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). She has ten years of professional experience helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious or unsure about relationships and parenting. She also supports clients who want to boost motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
Shadi keeps conversations straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then tailors the session to the concerns a person brings. Her approach is practical and sensitive, with attention to what someone needs right now rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Over a decade of work in the United Kingdom has given Shadi experience across a wide range of related issues. These include feelings of emptiness, attachment and abandonment concerns, control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles with self-love. She has also supported people facing immigration-related stresses, fatherhood questions, midlife change, and finding a clearer life purpose.
Shadi aims to make the process collaborative. She helps people identify small, achievable steps and talks through strategies that fit everyday life. She adapts the pace to match each person's comfort and needs.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and international clients are accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect someone to the right sessions and scheduling is arranged from there.

How Shadi works online
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and choose an approach that fits a person's goals, needs and preferences. This decision is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or making it simpler to keep regular appointments from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can guide how to make online sessions useful and practical for day-to-day challenges.
