“Every Story Matters – Especially Yours!”

Hello, I am Dr. Nazish Shabir. I am a Provisional Psychologist with a PhD in Psychology and over eight years of experience across healthcare and academic settings. I bring a “Scientist-Practitioner” approach to my work, which means my practice is deeply grounded in research but always delivered with genuine human care. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where your unique experiences are valued, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Whether you are navigating stress, anxiety, or complex life challenges, my goal is to meet you with curiosity and empathy to create a path that fits your life.
