My main approaches are EMDR and Schema Therapy.
You may be getting through each day while struggling to hold yourself together. Something has happened, or something has finally given way, and you are left wondering whether therapy is justified or whether you should be coping better by now. Many people reach this point after a loss, shock, or rupture that exposes how much has been carried for a long time. This is often where earlier relationship experiences and childhood wounds surface as patterns that suddenly feel impossible to manage alone. Therapy offers a way to make sense of what has been triggered and to work with it, rather than pushing through and hoping it settles.

I specialise in the lasting impact of childhood neglect, using Schema Therapy, CBT and EMDR to explore the patterns it leaves behind — anxiety, self-criticism, emotional exhaustion.
Do you carry a sense that something isn't quite right — not dramatically wrong, just a feeling that won't go away? Perhaps relationships feel harder than they should, or you're exhausted from holding everything together. For many people, these feelings trace back to childhood — not to what happened, but to what didn't: the comfort, attention or care that wasn't there. Childhood neglect can be invisible, even to the person who lived it, yet it quietly shapes adult life. We're a specialist psychotherapy clinic in Glasgow, here to help you understand why — and to find a way forward. Contact us for a free consultation.

Are you feeling weighed down by low mood, anxiety, or trouble sleeping? Whether these feelings stem from a challenging life event, a major transition like changes in health or employment, or seem to have appeared out of nowhere, it can feel overwhelming. You may even feel stuck, unsure of how to move forward, and disconnected from the things and people that once brought joy and meaning to your life. When life feels this way, it’s easy to withdraw, which can unintentionally deepen those feelings of isolation and helplessness. But it doesn't have to stay this way!

I am trained in EMDR and Emotionally Focussed Therapy and have supervised family therapy students.
I am Shaheen, a qualified and experienced therapist working with couples, families and individuals, who would like to deal with life or relationship challenges differently. My approach is systemic, which means looking at issues in the context of relationships, experiences, cultures and situations. For couples or families it's useful for recognising unhelpful patterns and enabling you - between you - to find new ways of managing that fit better with how you would like to be. Whatever challenges you are facing, we can explore what the multiple factors are, that may have contributed, and open up space for new ideas.
