About Shamiso

Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor who uses Trauma-Focused and client-centred approaches to help people manage distress. She draws on seven years of practice to offer calm, practical support for stress, anxiety and depression. Sessions are available in English and Shona and can be done online or by phone.

Shamiso listens for what matters most to each person and works at their pace. She offers straightforward ways to cope with grief, relationship strain, and the emotional impact of life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses intimacy concerns, compassion fatigue and problems tied to work or money. Her work often looks at patterns that come from early relationships, using psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences affect present feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours.

Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Shamiso has experience helping people with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment worries, and complex family-of-origin issues. She also supports those dealing with immigration stress, separation or infidelity, and blended family challenges.

Practicalities are kept simple. Sessions run by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Costs vary by location and are charged through a cancellable subscription.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Approaches suited to online trauma and emotional work

Shamiso uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing events and reduce the emotional hold of painful memories. She also works in a client-centred way, offering a listening, non-judgemental space where people set the pace and priorities for sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shamiso discusses options and adapts techniques to match an individual's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether trauma-focused methods, problem-solving strategies or a listening-led client-centred style will be most helpful.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to get support. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or shorter contacts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments or travel, and keep continuity when life is busy.
