In session
Practical support with room to look deeper.
Shima works collaboratively with each client rather than using one fixed formula. She draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, person-centred therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused therapy according to the client's needs and goals.
Sessions may focus on understanding recurring patterns, building coping skills, making sense of emotions, or finding a manageable way forward when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Areas of support
Care for emotional, relational, and neurodivergent experiences.
Trauma and difficult experiences
A paced space to work with trauma and the emotional impact that can follow a motor vehicle accident.
ADHD and autism
Support that respects neurodivergent ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, and moving through the world.
Relationships and life transitions
Care for family or relationship concerns, changing roles, uncertainty, and periods of significant transition.
