She draws on practical methods to help people cope with phobias, anxiety, depression and grief. Shamiso holds BACP accreditation and has seven years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach
Shamiso listens for patterns such as attachment or abandonment fears and helps people spot what keeps problems going. Her work combines talking therapies and hands-on techniques. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable next steps and build momentum. Shamiso also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences that affect current relationships. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change.
Together, these approaches are used to tailor sessions to the person’s goals. Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit busy lives or different needs. She speaks English and Shona, and accepts international clients.

How Shamiso’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring feelings like grief, shame or loneliness.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes. It is practical for anxiety, phobias and low mood because it breaks problems into manageable steps and homework tasks.
The therapist treats choice of approach as a collaboration. Shamiso will discuss which methods feel right and tailor sessions to a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, mood tracking or people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family responsibilities or travel.
