About Shimana
Shimana Cassie is a Clinical Psychotherapist and Counsellor with BACP registration and four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has run clinical services and worked across private, statutory and voluntary settings. Her practice addresses common concerns such as depression, anxiety, low mood, relationships and trauma alongside other issues people bring.
She uses a mix of widely used approaches to shape each session. Shimana draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to help with clear thinking and coping skills. She also works from humanistic and person-centred ideas that focus on listening and understanding a person's experience.
In sessions she aims to help people talk through difficult feelings and patterns that get in the way. Conversations tend to look at current problems and practical ways to manage them day to day. There is space to notice how past experiences affect present choices, when that feels relevant.
Shimana lists a broad set of concerns she supports, including stress, anger, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, career strain and neurodiversity-related matters such as ADHD and autism. She also notes focused areas like attachment issues, abandonment and blended family challenges.
Her clinical background includes directing a practice in London and working with varied client groups. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership is shown as BACP. Prospective clients should follow the site's booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward the life someone wants, which can help with anger and avoidance patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking habits and try different responses, which suits issues like anxiety, mood problems and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. They then choose or combine methods in a collaborative way rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep continuity with therapy while managing everyday life.
