Hello,

I’m Ishaa Saad Shaikh, a qualified Counsellor and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) (Membership No. 01024514). I hold an MSc in Person-Centred Counselling (2024) and an MA in Clinical Psychology(2020). My practice began in 2022, and I have experience supporting individuals through trauma, loss, identity struggles, and emotional pain.I believe therapy is not about giving advice, but about offering presence, reflection, and the courage to sit with what feels too heavy to face alone. I work with adults of diverse backgrounds, creating a space that honours your pace and your truth.

You may not have the words yet, just a heaviness, a restlessness, or a quiet ache you’ve been carrying alone. My clients are often those who’ve spent years showing up for others, but feel lost within themselves. They might fear being too much or not enough. Some are healing childhood wounds, others are grieving identities they’ve outgrown. What they want isn’t advice, but a steady space to feel what’s been buried. They want to come home to themselves, gently and truthfully, and I offer a place for that journey to begin.

I offer a grounded, reflective space that gently touches parts of you that may have been overlooked, not because they weren’t important, but because they were too tender to face alone. I specialise in working with trauma, grief, identity loss and deep emotional pain, holding space for what’s raw, real, and ready to be met.

You may be carrying more than you can speak about, grief, confusion, or a quiet sense of being unseen. If you're unsure where to begin, that’s okay. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Therapy can be a space to begin that journey, with someone who listens fully and meets you where you are. You’re welcome here.

Yours truly,
Ishaa Saad Shaikh
