Amina Shaikh

I currently offer sessions from Monday to Friday, between 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

I’m Amina Shaikh, a Psychotherapist in Twickenham, West London, working with Psychodynamic and Existential approaches. I help people understand how their past shapes their present, so they can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose. My work is deeply influenced by my own life experiences, which allows me to offer a compassionate, grounded, and non-judgmental space for reflection and growth. Your journey towards a brighter horizon Starts here. In Person & Online.

I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. My aim is to support you in making sense of life’s challenges, finding meaning, and discovering new ways of moving forward.

I welcome you to get in touch.

The First Session 

Your first session is a warm and welcoming space to explore what brings you to therapy. It’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a relationship based on trust, safety, and respect.

What to Expect:

A gentle pace: There’s no pressure to share everything right away. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.

Listening to your story: I’ll ask a few questions about what’s been going on for you, what support you’re looking for, and any previous experiences with therapy.

Setting goals (if helpful): Together, we might begin to identify what you’d like to get out of therapy, whether that’s gaining insight, finding relief, or making changes.

Space for questions: You’re welcome to ask anything, about the way I work, the therapy process, or anything else you’re curious or unsure about.

Practical Information:

Sessions last 50 minutes and are held in-person or online, depending on your preference.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance, just come as you are.
