About Shamiso
Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She meets clients by video, phone and text, and aims for calm, straightforward conversations that focus on what matters most to the individual. Shamiso has seven years of experience supporting people through depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma.
She works with practical problems such as hoarding, obsessive behaviours and the effects of pregnancy complications in an everyday, non-judgemental way.
Background and approach
Her BACP registration is listed as a professional credential in the United Kingdom. In sessions she combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current feelings.
Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals between meetings. Shamiso speaks English and Shona and is able to work with people both in the UK and internationally. She aims to tailor each session to the person’s priorities, whether that means short-term coping strategies or deeper reflection on long-standing patterns.
People can expect a direct but warm style. Conversations typically explore current difficulties, identify useful changes, and agree clear next steps. Sessions are offered across several online formats to suit different needs and schedules.
How Shamiso works online and what to expect
Shamiso often uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities. This helps people feel heard and decide what to work on first.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety. Solution-focused tools are used to set small, achievable steps that build momentum between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Shamiso will talk about different ways of working and agree a plan based on your goals and preferences. That plan can change as needs shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you use body language and tone, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in and messaging is useful for short, flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or different time zones while keeping the focus on progress.
