Shabina Kauser, NCPS

Shabina Kauser is a UK-based NCPS credentialed professional with three years of experience supporting people through relationship struggles, family conflict, grief, motivation difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Her practice is informed by a strong cultural awareness and an understanding of generational traumas that can be carried within families. Before training as a therapist, she worked extensively within Urdu-speaking communities and continues to draw on that background to help clients access the nuances of their language and experience. She is fluent in spoken Urdu and considers her Urdu reading and writing at an intermediate or primary level. She is also fluent in Punjabi for spoken communication but does not read or write Punjabi.

Shabina has supported clients from the subcontinent as well as from Asia and the Far East, working with the challenges that arise where traditions, religion, and collectivist values shape family life and personal choices. She understands how parental expectations, cultural norms, and historical influences can create barriers to autonomy and emotional expression, and she works collaboratively with clients to navigate those complexities while honouring their values.

Raised in a multicultural environment with strong cultural influences, she aims to provide a welcoming space for clients to examine their concerns with empathy and cultural sensitivity. Her areas of focus include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and other family of origin or interpersonal concerns.
