About Shadi
Shadi Shayan is a counselling professional with ten years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and parenting concerns. She also supports those who want to build self-esteem, motivation and confidence.
Shadi meets people with respect and sensitivity. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. Her approach is practical and down to earth, focusing on what someone needs now and next.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for patterns such as attachment or control issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and problems with jealousy or narcissism. She pays attention to how life changes - like immigration, fatherhood, or a midlife shift - affect day-to-day wellbeing. This helps shape clear, manageable steps forward.
She supports people working through family problems and the particular pressures that come with parenting and fatherhood roles. Shadi also offers help around life purpose, phobias and challenges common among young adults. Her work aims to help people find more ease in their daily lives and relationships.
Shadi speaks English and Persian and works with clients across borders. She is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, which is shown as HCPC. If someone is unsure where to start, she encourages a short conversation to see if her style fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Shadi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage everyday difficulties. One approach focuses on understanding how past relationships shape present reactions and attachment patterns, helping to reduce repeated conflicts and heavy emotions. Another approach concentrates on practical skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding and small behavioural changes that can make days feel steadier.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk through your goals and preferences, then try methods that match your needs. That way the plan is a collaboration, not something imposed on you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows a shorter check-in, and messaging suits ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments.
