Clinical Director, Counselling Psychologist | CBT Therapist | EMDR Consultant
Hello, I’m Shireen
I’m the Founder and the Lead Psychologist at Clarity Psychology Practice.
People often have come to therapy as they were feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck and confused, holding things together on the surface, while finding it harder underneath.
You may also be trying to make sense of your experiences or wondering why you respond to things the way you do. You might experience low self-esteem or imposter syndrome, leaving you doubting yourself or feeling not quite good enough. This may be shaped by past experiences, trauma, anxiety, or navigating life with diagnosed or self-diagnosed neurodiverse conditions.
You don’t have to work this out on your own.
I have founded Clarity Psychology Practice to offer a structured, supportive, and personalised approach to therapy — where you feel understood, and where there is a clear way forward.
With over 20 years’ experience in the NHS, I bring an approach that is both evidence-based and grounded in real clinical practice. We offer therapies including CBT, EMDR, CFT ACT and EMDR intensives, alongside a neuroaffirming approach — helping you make sense of your experiences and move forward with clarity.

Intensive EMDR Therapy
EMDR Intensives offer a structured, concentrated format of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy. Instead of short weekly sessions, we work together over longer, focused blocks of time to help you process and reduce the emotional impact of distressing experiences.
Each intensive is carefully planned and personalised to your needs, with preparation and follow-up support included.
When you’re managing a demanding career, or have a lot of responsibilities, or high-pressure environments, weekly therapy can feel slow and difficult to schedule. You may want to feel better — sooner. Or you may need to work through something specific before it begins affecting your work, relationships, or wellbeing.
Sometimes weekly therapy doesn’t feel like enough — especially when you’re ready for change.
Intensive EMDR therapy approach can be particularly helpful for you!
Client feedback
Here’s what our clients say about their journey—from first steps to lasting change.
‘’I consulted Shireen when I was overwhelmed with trauma that went back many years. I didn’t know what to expect with both CBT and EMDR. Shireen made me very comfortable with her, there is a certain warmth in her that helped me open up with much ease. She worked through all the years of my trauma very slowly, systematically whilst explaining the process to keep me informed.
Her work had miraculous effects on my emotional stability. Each session helped me instantly recover from parts of my negative experiences and cognition. Her therapy gave me a completely new outlook towards life and moving forward. I feel very positive, confident and happier to take on life’s challenges for better.’’
“With over 15 years of therapy behind me with lots of different therapists, Shireen has been the one to make a difference and have a positive impact on my life.
She has a gentle and empathetic approach, listening intently to you, whilst at the same time equipping you with the tools and confidence needed to tackle difficult situations.
Combining EMDR and CBT therapy with Shireen has been revolutionary to allow me to heal and move forward from past traumas and create new ways of approaching people and situations going forward.”
Prior to seeing Shireen, I was very skeptical about therapy as I’ve not had much past success. Due to having ASD and ADHD, I always felt previous therapists never truly understood me. However, my sessions with Shireen have completely changed my perspective. I reached out to Shireen regarding trauma and PTSD and needed intense therapy.
I was recommended EMDR. Within 8 sessions, I’ve come out of this a completely changed man. Shireen’s professionalism, empathy, patience, cooperatism, amazing listening and understanding skills; clear explanations and safe environment allowed me to be more open minded and gave me the confidence to be able to put my trust in her to work through my trauma and mental health, which has left me in a much better place mentally and emotionally. She was fully invested in me and took the time to truly listen and understand how I was feeling, which allowed us to work together to find the correct solutions.
Her EMDR sessions were intense, however, because I grew to trust her in the sessions leading up, she gave me the confidence to power through a lot of these sessions and my emotions, no matter how hard it was for me emotionally. She has been an absolute star and words cannot thank her enough for the time and effort she has put in to get me into a better place. I cannot recommend her enough, 11/10.
‘’Working with Shireen has been a truly transformative experience. She created a safe space where I feel heard and understood. Her empathy, insight and gentle guidance have helped me gain clarity, build healthier coping strategies and feel more confident in navigating life’s challenges. I deeply appreciate her professionalism, patience and genuine care for my well-being.’’
‘’Shireen took the time to truly understand me, my life, and exactly what I wanted to get out of therapy. When I first started seeing Shireen, I was going through a new relationship, and she helped me navigate it without repeating patterns I might have fallen into in the past. Later, we did several sessions of EMDR therapy, which have already made a huge difference in my way of thinking. In our final session, we were able to conclude my therapy in a thoughtful way, and I was given practical tools to take forward with me.
I wanted a therapist who wasn’t afraid to tell me the truth and keep me honest during times when I was being unreasonable, and Shireen did exactly that. Thank you, Shireen!’’
‘‘DR. Shireen helped me overcome agoraphobia-related anxiety and panic during a particularly challenging period of my life.
What I valued most was that she didn’t just listen, she provided practical CBT strategies and targeted exercises that gave me the tools to manage my anxiety, regain confidence, and better understand myself. Through her support, I developed greater self-awareness and continued to grow both personally and emotionally.
I am incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and effective therapist.’’
