Noor Shah

I only offer online appointments.  Afternoon/evenings and Saturday mornings. 

I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore whatever may be bringing you to therapy.

You may be feeling caught between who you are and who others expect you to be. Perhaps you're struggling in your relationships, carrying experiences from the past, or finding that anxiety, low mood or difficult emotions are becoming harder to manage. You may find yourself overthinking, struggling to set boundaries, putting other people's needs before your own, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward.

Sometimes there may be a clear reason for how you're feeling, while at other times it can be difficult to understand why things don't feel quite right. Whatever has brought you here, you don't need to have all the answers or know exactly where to begin.

I work with a range of difficulties including anxiety, low mood, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and identity concerns. I also recognise that our experiences can be shaped by our relationships, families, culture, faith and the environments we have grown up in. If these are important parts of your experience, there is space for us to explore them with sensitivity and without judgement.

I understand that reaching out for counselling can feel difficult, and I aim to make that first step as comfortable as possible. If you feel that we might work well together, you're warmly welcome to get in touch.

I work integratively, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches and tailor the way we work to you and your individual needs. My work is informed by approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred and psychodynamic therapy.

I believe that feeling heard, understood and accepted is an important part of therapy. My role is to offer you a space where you can slow down, reflect and talk openly about what you're experiencing and what matters to you. Rather than expecting you to fit a particular way of working, we can explore together what feels most helpful for you.

Depending on what you bring to therapy, our work might involve exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are affecting you in the present, looking at past experiences and relationships to understand patterns that may be repeating, or simply having space to process emotions and experiences that have been difficult to carry alone.

We will work collaboratively and at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding of your experiences, recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and explore ways of moving forward that feel meaningful to you.

I have experience working across a range of services, including drug and alcohol and third-sector organisations, supporting people experiencing a variety of emotional and psychological difficulties. This experience continues to inform the compassionate and individual approach I bring to my work.

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know one another and exploring what has brought you to therapy. This is an opportunity for you to talk about your concerns, ask any questions, and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.

We'll discuss what you're hoping to gain from therapy, any relevant background or life experiences, and begin to identify the issues that are most important to you. There is no expectation to share everything straight away. We will work at a pace that feels safe and manageable.

I'll also explain how I work, discuss confidentiality and its limits, and answer any practical questions you may have about the counselling process. Together, we'll consider how we might work towards your goals and whether short term or longer term therapy would best meet your needs.

My aim is for you to leave the first session feeling heard and understood, with a clearer sense of how therapy can support you.

Evenings after 5 pm on weekdays.
