Remote therapy, parenting support, school liaison, from the convenience of your home or office
I specialise in working with people of mixed culture, suspected or diagnosed neurodivergence, or any other areas relating to identity or belonging including GSRD
I will give you a safe and confidential space, free of judgement, to explore whatever is difficult in your life, and to help you identify what you might want to change
Therapy & coaching sessions available to help support you, or your neurodivergent child or student
Remote or online counselling is a way for you to engage in counselling without the demands or stress of travel, and can be particularly helpful to those who experience sensory overload or have a demanding personal schedule.
I also offer coaching or consultancy sessions to parents and educators, to help you support your neurodivergent children and students.
I have full training and extensive experience in video, audio, and SMS therapy, as well as through email for those who may prefer no interruptions, a much slower pace, or who struggle with regular time commitments.
About me
Nina Shah Gestalt Counsellor Dip. MBACP (Accred.), Reiki Master Level 3
I am a British therapist who recently relocated to Stockholm, and I continue to work remotely with clients in the UK.
My cultural backdrop is British Croatian by birth, and British Pakistani by marriage. I specialise in issues relating to feeling different for whatever reason, including mixed culture life, neurodivergence (ADHD, autism etc), the twin relationship, and gender, sexual and relationship diversity.
I am a UK-accredited Gestalt therapist with 30 years of experience in the fields of mental health and psychology.

Wanted to share this pretty cool thing. I grew three tiny pumpkins last year that we used as decoration for Halloween. Then I forgot about them, and they remained on our doorstep.
I went to throw them away this weekend (five months later), thinking they`d be rotten mush, but they`re completely hollow and dried out. We`re now just cleaning them up so they can used next year (though they`ll probably stay on the doorstep, and be used next year if they survive). 🎃

If you know anyone who has a neurodivergent child or if you have any interest in furthering your understanding, please watch this video. Especially teachers, please take a moment to understand the reality of the parents of your ND students.
Be careful to listen to this or read this in private if you, like me, are an emotional person, or if you yourself are a parent of a neurodivergent child. It had me sobbing. His reality is my own. His experiences and thoughts and feelings are mine also. This is why ND families need each other, because at the moment, only another ND family will understand.

Oh this resonates! I absolutely love hanging out with other ADHDers (or ADHD-friendly folk) for this specific reason.

Warm enough to do work outside today! Being able to be outside, under the sunshine, feeling the cool breeze on my skin, lifts my heart and nourishes me so much. My ADHD brain also loves the particular kind of silence that is nature background noise.
The season of retreat is drawing to a close.
