Nuzhat Basheer

Nuzhat is a psychologist with over ten years of experience in both clinical and counselling settings, supporting individuals with anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, grief, adjustment challenges, and self-worth concerns. She works with clients from diverse backgrounds and places strong emphasis on cultural sensitivity, recognising the impact of family dynamics, social expectations, and lived experiences on emotional wellbeing. Her approach is person-centred and trauma informed, with sessions tailored to each client’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

She integrates CBT, ACT, IFS, Narrative therapy, Gestalt therapy and mindfulness-based practices in a practical, collaborative and grounded way. Above all, she aims to create a respectful and safe therapeutic space where clients feel heard, build clarity and resilience, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.
