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.

Homemade apple juice. Delicious, very easy to make, but so messy, smushing pulp through a muslin. Can`t work out if it is sensory hell or glorious.

I`m thinking about transitions again, and how we manage them or prepare ourselves for them. I`m seeking the beauty in a season that doesn`t come naturally to my soul. I love the colours and shapes of the leaves. I love the sound of rain on my cabin roof. Autumn is here.

@untangledbecoming - here`s the one I use!
I didn`t have raisins or sultanas this time, and used chopped dried dates in the same weight.

Took some time at the weekend to read, sit by a lake, enjoy the sunshine (while the smaller ones climbed very high trees!).
The opportunities to luxuriate outdoors on warm days are lessening as we approach winter, and I`m making the most of filling my soul with sunshine while I can, in preparation for colder, darker days.
I share this post, because much of my work is around transitions, cycles of life, using solitude and retreat as preparation and proactive support, not just as a reactive coping mechanism. Have a think about how you`re preparing yourself or your home for the cooler months.

I gave up on my green tomatoes ripening, and made chutney out of them at the weekend. Simple tasks, being outdoors, making use of homegrown food, not letting things go to waste - these are some of the things give me pleasure.
Pleasure is enormously important in life, and the things that give you pleasure should never be seen as frivolities.

What a sight when I opened the curtains this morning! Hello to a new week.
(I woke feeling wiped out and brain foggy, so I am trying to focus on the positive things, while taking things reasonably easy. Tea. Lots of tea.)

Interesting article for couples struggling to find the right balance in their home life. This may not be for you, and if not, please skip over and ignore - we are all different, and different solutions work for different couples.
However, if you love your partner and have tried everything else, it may be worth considering something new. While this way of life may not currently be considered conventional, it is by no means a new way of balancing relationships and other needs.
