About Shazia Datoobhoy

Shazia Datoobhoy offers clients a calm and supportive environment where they can explore how they think, feel, and respond to life’s challenges. She focuses on helping people understand their patterns and find practical ways to build more satisfying, meaningful lives. Her practice has a strong emphasis on trauma - including PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and various forms of abuse such as domestic, sexual, and emotional - as well as the effects of bullying.

Her approach is collaborative. She accompanies clients through a process of self-discovery and self-acceptance by asking thoughtful questions, inviting reflection on lived experience, and exploring how past events influence current emotions and behaviours. The goal is to support clients in identifying changes they feel will improve their emotional responses and overall wellbeing.

Shazia holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or managing life transitions - research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the way that works best for them: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and maintain continuity of care.

Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online work provides an alternative route to consistent therapeutic support while preserving the core elements of the therapeutic relationship.
