Online CBT to help you feel less stuck and more like yourself.
I’m Shav, a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist. If worry, fear or low mood are getting in the way, we can work together to understand the pattern and find practical ways forward.
I specialise in treating panic disorder and phobias, including fears of needles, blood and spiders.

Online, but still personal
Therapy that fits into your life
Online therapy is still a personal conversation. We’ll make sense of what has been difficult, decide what you want to change and work on steps you can try between sessions—from a private space wherever you are in the UK.
I work with a range of difficulties, with particular experience in anxiety, panic, social anxiety and phobias. You might also be feeling low, overwhelmed or caught in patterns that are hard to change. You don’t need a diagnosis or the perfect words to get in touch.

01
Panic disorder
A racing heart or sudden surge of fear can leave you worried about the next attack. We’ll explore that cycle and agree ways to rebuild confidence in the situations you have been avoiding.
Whether it is needles, blood, spiders, flying or another specific fear, avoidance can start to shape your choices. We’ll agree gradual steps towards the things you want to be able to do.
If your mind keeps asking “what if?”, it can be hard to switch off. We’ll look at the worry cycle and practise responding to uncertainty in ways that leave more room for daily life.
You may hold back in conversations or replay them afterwards, looking for mistakes. We’ll explore fears of judgement and test ways to feel more involved in social situations.
Checking symptoms or asking for reassurance may settle the worry for a moment, only for it to return. We’ll work on this cycle while respecting appropriate medical advice.
Unwanted thoughts and the urge to check, repeat or put things right can take up a lot of time. We’ll understand the pattern and plan manageable steps to reduce compulsions.
Memories, reminders or feeling constantly on edge can make it difficult to feel in the present. We’ll assess what you need and agree a suitable plan together.
When energy and motivation are low, it can be harder to do the things that usually support you. We’ll start with small, realistic steps towards routine, connection and what matters to you.
Understand what is happening. Find a useful next step.
CBT gives us a way to connect what you think, feel and do. Together, we choose a focus and turn what you learn in sessions into changes you can practise in everyday life.
My style is warm, straightforward and practical. I’ll listen carefully, explain the thinking behind what we do and welcome your questions. You’ll have a say in the pace and direction of our work.
Alongside private practice, I work as a Psychological Therapist in an NHS First Response service. I welcome people from all backgrounds, with particular experience supporting Muslim and South Asian clients.
Shav has helped me so much. He’s very understanding and knowledgeable. I’m so grateful, and I would 100% recommend Shav to anyone with anxiety.
Anonymous client review
Clear from the start
Straightforward fees, no pressure
Begin with a short, free conversation. Choose a standard online CBT session, a longer appointment or a session by SMS. We’ll agree what suits your needs before you book.
A symptom search or a quick check may settle the worry for a moment. Learn why the doubt returns, and how to work on the cycle while taking proper care of your health.
The free consultation gives us space to briefly discuss what you want help with and whether my experience and CBT approach are a suitable fit. If another type or level of support seems more appropriate, I will be honest about that.
What happens in an online session?
We agree a focus, review what you noticed or practised since the last session, and work together on an evidence-based CBT strategy. Sessions are structured, but there is always room for what matters that week.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. I handle your information carefully and discuss confidentiality with you before therapy begins. The main exceptions are legal requirements or serious concerns about immediate safety, which are explained in the privacy and safeguarding policies.
