About Shirin
Shirin Latif is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety and stress. She offers calm, practical support for relationship troubles and other painful issues. Her manner is gentle and straightforward, aimed at making conversations easier and less overwhelming.
Shirin describes therapy as a place to slow down and speak honestly. She pays attention to how people attach to each other and how past hurts shape present reactions. Sessions focus on clear communication and rebuilding closeness when it has been lost.
Background and approach
Her way of working draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening. That means she puts the client’s experience at the centre, and explores patterns that repeat in relationships. She also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic concepts to help people understand emotions and habits.
Clients can expect non-judgemental space and practical steps to try between sessions. Shirin aims to help people make small, manageable changes rather than promise quick fixes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.
Shirin holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of clinical experience and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are welcome.
How Shirin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Shirin draws on attachment-based and client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness ideas to help people online. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps with trust and closeness problems. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening closely to each person’s experience and responding without judgement. Mindfulness work introduces simple practices for noticing thoughts and calming intense emotions, which can help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is something to do together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which combination of listening, reflection and practical exercises feels most helpful.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and to choose a format that fits daily life.
