About Shirin
Shirin Latif is a counsellor who helps people untangle difficult relationship patterns and intense emotions. She listens without judgement and creates room for honest conversation. Her manner is calm and practical, aimed at helping people slow down and begin to hear one another again.
Shirin focuses on how attachment, defence reactions and past hurts shape current behaviour. She blends Existential ideas about meaning and choice with client-centred attention to what each person brings.
Background and approach
She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns and mindfulness to help people stay present in tense moments. Sessions are used to rebuild trust, improve communication and make sense of loss, conflict or distance between partners. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, alongside issues such as low self-esteem, addictions and eating or sleeping problems.
A range of other concerns is welcomed, from parenting strain to career stress and chronic health worries. Shirin has four years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Therapy runs on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Shirin uses Existential therapy to help people look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing. This approach helps when someone is wrestling with loss, major life changes or questions about purpose.She also works from an attachment-based perspective, noticing how early bonds shape current reactions in relationships. That focus is useful for people who want to rebuild trust, improve closeness or change repeating patterns with partners.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree on an approach together. Plans can be reviewed as therapy progresses so methods stay relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
