About Shamiso
Shamiso Mazaiwana is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a warm, person-focused style. She draws on seven years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Shona to suit different needs.
Shamiso works directly with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief and loss, and the strain that comes from caregiving or career pressure. She also supports people dealing with trauma, hoarding behaviours, obsessive-compulsive concerns and the ripple effects of immigration or separation.
Background and approach
The aim is to make everyday problems feel more manageable. Her approach centres on listening first and then using clear tools and practical steps. That can include helping someone spot unhelpful thought patterns, set small goals that feel achievable, or look at past experiences that keep repeating in relationships.
Sessions mix short-term goal work with space to reflect on deeper patterns when that fits the person. Shamiso offers phone and video sessions as well as live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work or family life.
People often start by outlining the main concern and choosing a format that suits their routine. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is listed as a credential and reflects her professional affiliation during seven years of practice.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Solution-Focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and on Motivational Interviewing when someone needs help choosing or committing to a change. The choice of approach is collaborative and can shift as the person’s needs and goals become clearer during therapy.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction and visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good choice for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or need to fit therapy around work or caregiving duties. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to these different formats so the work stays focused and useful.
