About me
Hi, and welcome to my little space here!
Worry, trauma memories, depression, OCD, phobias and/or low self-esteem can quietly take over daily life affecting work, relationships, and confidence.
I offer evidence based CBT and EMDR to help you feel steadier, process what’s happened, and move forward with greater self compassion.
Choosing a therapist is a big step. You may be feeling uncertain about what to expect, so here is a little about me and what I offer...
I’m Anisa, an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) therapist and Eye Movement, Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist offering compassionate, evidence based therapy online and face to face in Shropshire.
I have over 15 years’ experience in mental health care, having first qualified as a Mental Health Nurse with Staffordshire University in 2010. I later specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in 2016 through Staffordshire University and went on to gain advanced training in EMDR with the EMDR Academy.
Compassion and helping people improve their relationship with themselves, building self worth, reducing self criticism, and developing healthier internal narratives, is at the centre of the therapy I offer.
This combination of skills allows me to provide tailored, effective, evidence based treatment for a range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety disorders, phobias, depression, trauma responses (including PTSD), and long standing issues with self esteem. I provide a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges and begin working towards your goals.
Based in Shropshire and working with clients across Shrewsbury, Telford, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Chester, Staffordshire and surrounding areas.

Further information
I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and pace, offering structured, evidence based techniques. I believe therapy should feel both safe and empowering.
I am passionate about working with individuals, as well as delivering psycho-educational workshops for the workplace.
Inclusivity is central to the therapy I provide.
I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that is safe, supportive, and adaptable to individual needs.
Whether you identify as LGBTQ+, are neurodivergent (diagnosed or self-identified), live with a learning difference such as dyslexia or dyspraxia or come from a marginalised or culturally diverse background, therapy with me is grounded in equity, curiosity, and cultural humility.
We will work together to find approaches that suit you, using sensitivity, creativity and flexibility to ensure therapy is accessible and attuned to your lived experience.
