About Shimana
Shimana Cassie is a clinical psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She offers a calm, direct approach and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable.
Shimana focuses on common and overlapping concerns such as depression, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and trauma.
Background and approach
She also helps people facing issues like stress, grief, addictions, body image and work-related strain. Sessions are tailored to the person rather than a single method, so conversations move at a pace that feels right for each client. Her practice draws on approaches that include cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment-focused work and client-centred listening.
Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are also used to help people notice feelings and respond differently to them. Every plan is shaped to reflect the person’s goals and everyday life demands. In sessions, Shimana aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about what’s on their mind.
She uses practical exercises and grounded conversations to build new ways of coping. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that fit into usual routines. People who contact her can expect clear communication about next steps and flexible online options.
The initial process involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling that suits the individual’s availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted over time, and different techniques can be combined so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are close to face-to-face contact and useful for deeper conversations, while phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other daily commitments, and to keep momentum between appointments.
