About Shadi
HCPC counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience, Shadi Shayan helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and parenting questions. She also supports work on motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and speaks English and Persian.
Shadi focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying what makes them worse, and trying ways to change daily patterns. She adapts the dialogue to each person and adjusts plans as progress is reviewed.
Her work covers a range of related concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, control and jealousy, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and challenges around fatherhood and family relationships. She also supports people facing immigration stress, midlife reassessment and finding life purpose.
Shadi treats issues such as narcissism, phobias and the transitions many young adults face. She keeps the focus on concrete goals and skill-building rather than abstract theory. Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave people with practical steps they can use between sessions.
For those considering therapy, she asks simple questions about what is most pressing and what has already been tried. The initial sessions are used to agree goals and a plan. If you choose to proceed, she can work with you in English or Persian and with people located outside the UK as well.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Shadi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and clear skills. One common approach helps people spot and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns; it is useful for anxiety, stress and managing low self-esteem. Another approach focuses on attachment and relational patterns, helping people understand repeated relationship difficulties and try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working based on the client’s goals, preferences and what is most helpful in early sessions. The decision about techniques is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For international clients, online sessions can remove geographic barriers while the therapist and client decide together what scheduling and session length suit practical needs.
