About Shimana
Shimana Cassie is a clinical psychotherapist and counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Shimana focuses on helping people who are struggling with mood, relationships and life changes, using practical, person-centred conversations.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful feelings. Sessions tend to be straightforward and paced to each person.
Background and approach
The aim is to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping and build clearer steps forward. Shimana draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape relationships and internal distress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, purposeful actions, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
These methods are combined with attachment-informed and client-centred approaches to tailor support to each person. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and difficulties with self-esteem or intimacy. She also works with issues such as grief, parenting strain, addiction, career stresses and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Shimana adapts her approach to the matter a client brings rather than following a single formula. Her practice uses conversational work, emotional mapping and practical exercises that clients can use between sessions. People usually leave with clearer priorities, tools to manage daily stresses and ideas to improve relationships and wellbeing.

Online support
Emotion and action-focused therapy online
Shimana works with approaches that focus on feelings, values and patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and self-view. It is useful for clarifying emotional responses and repairing upset in close connections.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions where holding to personal priorities matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections and trust, which can help with intimacy and recurring relational difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss methods and try things out together, matching techniques to your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches when that best meets a person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through feelings or keeping therapy going between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
