About Mustabshira

Mustabshira Durrani is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with thirteen years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. Her work aims to help people who feel stuck find new ways of seeing their situation and regain forward momentum.

Clients can expect a calm and non-judgemental space to talk about painful memories and current struggles. Sessions concentrate on what is happening now, and on small, practical steps that can reduce distress.

Background and approach

The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns and try out different responses. Mustabshira often works with issues connected to attachment and abandonment, communication problems, control struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image worries, and the emotional fallout from separation and loss.

Her style is warm and compassionate, shaped by personal and professional experience of recovery. She aims to help clients uncover choices they might not have seen before and resolve old hurts so they can move toward greater contentment. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Mustabshira works in English and does not currently work with international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to pair people with a suitable appointment.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Mustabshira lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Evidence-based techniques are used to address distress and trauma in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives through small behavioural experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach helps people process painful memories and understand how past events shape current reactions, supporting recovery from trauma and post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods based on their goals, comfort and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a different method if something does not fit, or combining techniques to meet specific needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
