Shabina Kauser, NCPS

Shabina Kauser is a UK-based therapist with three years of clinical experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, motivation challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. She holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training and qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and she draws on a range of therapeutic methods - including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused techniques - to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Before qualifying as a therapist, Shabina worked extensively within the Urdu-speaking community, using her spoken Urdu skills and knowledge of cultural nuance to help clients explore internal conflicts. She is fluent in spoken Urdu while noting that her reading and writing ability in Urdu is at an intermediate or primary level. She is also fluent in Punjabi for speaking, though she does not read or write Punjabi. This linguistic familiarity sits alongside a deep cultural awareness of traditions, generational trauma, and the particular pressures that can come from parental expectations and community norms.

Shabina has experience supporting people from the subcontinent and from Asia and the Far East, recognizing how collectivist values, religious traditions, and long-standing customs can influence autonomy, emotional expression, and family dynamics. She works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored, while respecting each person’s cultural framework and values. Areas of focus include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, coping after disasters, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration issues, isolation and loneliness, and exploring life purpose.

Shabina is accepting clients, including international clients, and aims to support people who are ready to take the first step toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying relationships.
