Shazia Akhtar

I am a qualified, British Pakistani counsellor, and a registered member of the BACP. I work in a person-centred way, offering a safe, confidential space, to explore your thoughts and feelings.

I became a counsellor because I have always believed in the importance of being truly heard and understood. At different points in my own life, I realised how powerful it can be to have a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings without judgement. This inspired me to train as a counsellor, so that I could offer that same support to others. I feel privileged to walk alongside people as they find clarity, strength, and their own gentle path forward.

Alongside my professional training, I also bring personal insight into the effects of domestic abuse, which informs my work with warmth and understanding.

As an Urdu and Punjabi speaker, I can offer counselling in these languages as well as English.
I work from a person-centred approach, providing a warm, gentle, non-judgmental approach which is tailored to your individual needs.

Costs are £45 per 1 hour session.

Specialist in: Counselling and Psychotherapy.
