About Mustabshira
Mustabshira Durrani is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on life purpose, attachment and issues such as panic, chronic illness, body image and isolation.
She helps people look at their current perspective and consider other ways of seeing difficult situations. Sessions are practical and conversational. She aims to help people notice choices they may not have seen before and to address old hurts that get in the way of daily life.
In therapy she creates a straightforward, non-judgemental space for people to talk about upsetting thoughts and feelings. She acknowledges how hard it can be to start and stays with people while they take manageable steps forward. Her own experience of hardship informs how she listens and responds.
Work with her often includes talking through patterns around relationships, coping reactions to stress, and how past experiences shape current behaviour. She pays attention to practical ways to reduce panic, manage mood, and rebuild confidence after loss or trauma.
People who come seeking direction in life find she focuses on small, concrete changes that can reveal new options. She encourages clear steps rather than big promises. The emphasis is on finding workable ways to feel steadier and make more considered choices.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Mustabshira works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical coping skills. One common approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses short, structured exercises to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Another approach concentrates on processing the effects of trauma and loss by helping people gradually face difficult memories and learn steadier ways of managing intense emotions.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person and adjust methods to match their goals, needs and preferences rather than applying one fixed model. Clients help shape which techniques are used and how quickly the work progresses.
Check the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for her practice. Confirmed details will explain how to schedule and what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to keep continuity of contact after a change in work, health or location.
