About Shadi
Shadi Shayan is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC, and has 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and those wanting to build self-esteem and confidence. She speaks English and Persian and accepts international clients.
Shadi focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. Sessions aim to identify what feels stuck and what small changes could help. She pays attention to attachment and control issues, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties that come after major life changes such as midlife shifts or immigration.
She also addresses concerns around abandonment, jealousy, guilt and shame, fatherhood issues, and young adult challenges. Problems linked to narcissism, phobias, and family difficulties are part of her caseload. She includes life purpose as a focus area for people wondering what comes next.
Shadi adapts the dialogue and plan to each person's situation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works with clients to set realistic short-term aims. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to emotional patterns and everyday routines.
People who want to test new ways of managing anxiety or who need support through relationship or parenting strain may find her approach direct and organised. Initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session to agree goals and next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Shadi works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Cognitive-style methods look at thoughts that fuel anxiety or low self-esteem and teach practical techniques to test and change those thoughts. They are useful for stress, phobias and confidence work.Attachment-focused approaches look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. This can help with abandonment worries, jealousy and relationship difficulties by mapping patterns and trying new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different techniques with each person and decide together what suits current goals and circumstances. That collaborative process helps match methods to issues such as parenting strain, life purpose questions or midlife changes.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you prefer a particular setup, confirm options when you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule your first session.
