Shamsa Aslam - Person Centred Counsellor
About Me:
Welcome to my profile, my name is Shamsa Aslam, and I am a qualified counsellor with experience of working with a diverse range of clients. In my professional practice, I embrace a person-centred approach, acknowledging and treating each client as a distinct individual and working at their pace. Sessions are personalized to target and address their specific needs and concerns. Knowledge of other approaches enables me to incorporate various techniques to aid the therapeutic process. Children and young people often thrive when engaging in a creative and enjoyable approach, which I've found to be highly effective in aiding their
understanding and resolution of problems.
I am multilingual and offer counselling in Urdu, Punjabi, Mirpuri as well as English.
Having worked specifically with the south Asian community, I have an excellent understanding of the culture and customs. My pervious role involved working closely with families and children from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as refugees from different parts of the world.
I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a governing body for counsellors. I adhere to its ethical framework which ensures therapists work to a professional standard.
