About Ms. Chhaya Shah
- I work relationally with clients, in order that they can get their voice heard, and I believe that (by booking a session with me) this is their time and their space to be themselves, even if this means getting to know who they are in today’s world.
- I am an accredited counsellor offering empowering talking therapies in Gujarati and English in a private practice by phone, Skype and face to face in West London.
- I offer Psychotherapy, Clinical Supervision, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TFCBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Life Coaching.
- I have 15 years experience as a Complementary Therapist and Lecturer and therefore have a sound understanding of pathology, including working with cancer patients and their families and the grieving process as well as other long term health conditions.
- I sometimes use creative mediums such as Play Therapy, in order to work experientially when clients cannot find the words to express themselves.
My Therapy & Approach
- I am highly experienced in working with ethnic minorities and regularly offers sessions in Gujarati.
- I have a keen interest in working with clients affected by trauma, particularly post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of domestic violence, sexual assault including childhood sexual abuse, bullying, phobias, forced marriages, FGM, fleeing war and terrorism, asylum and immigration issues.
- I have written reports for court hearings and attended court as an expert witness.
- I work integratively and collaboratively with clients to help them understand how the mind and body affect each other, using a holistic approach.
- I can help clients work through traumatic experiences without having to verbalise events, if they are too overwhelming.
- My approach includes using TF-CBT, EMDR, EFT, Rewind Technique and Mindfulness in order to reduce distress, panic, anxiety and depression. I offers a positive psychological approach by motivating clients to make emotional and behavioural changes in order to build up self esteem and improve their mood.
- Relationships between two or more individuals can be very stressful and can impact work/life balance.
- I believe that all relationships include working collaboratively and compassionately as a team and this includes helping clients to build a relationship with themselves.
- I help clients navigate their way through their difficult journey, offering hope along the way.
My Supervision
- I offer clinical supervision in English and Gujarati to trainee and qualified counsellors of different modalities by Skype, telephone or face to face.
- I supervise complementary therapy practitioners and psychotherapists in group and individual settings working with their preferred models, whilst sharing insight of my own.
- This helps me to continue my journey by learning from others.
My training, work experience and any achievement
- I have worked as a therapist since 2001 including working in the charity sector.
- I specialise in working with significant trauma and have worked with many ethnic minority clients dealing with race, culture and abuse.
