About Shamyla
Shamyla Naheed is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to make the first step towards change feel more possible for those who are uncertain or nervous about starting therapy.
Shamyla creates a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find practical ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit the individual. Alongside core concerns like grief, anger and low self-esteem, Shamyla supports people facing parenting strains, caregiver stress and the impact of chronic illness. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and challenges around body image and self-worth.
Communication problems, control issues, divorce or separation, and feelings of isolation are also within her areas of focus. She helps people reflect on life purpose, guilt, shame and forgiveness so they can make clearer choices about next steps. Shamyla is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged in formats that suit different routines and needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with each person and together they will decide what fits best based on needs and goals. This collaborative process means strategies can be adapted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people read visual cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter, flexible options for brief updates, reflections between sessions or when scheduling is difficult. These formats make it easier to sustain therapy alongside everyday commitments and to access support from the United Kingdom where the therapist is based.
