Shireen Arthur
Psychodynamic psychotherapistAbout Me
Hello, I am a professionally qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor with many years of training and experience. I offer online, telephone and in-person psychotherapy. I have a particular interest in building confidence and emotional resilience. I also specialise in reducing anxiety, treating depression and understanding the effects of psychological trauma.
My aim is to help you make sense of your world and live a more satisfying life.
I achieve this by helping you to become more aware of your experiences, beliefs and behaviours from the past and reveal how they might be affecting your thoughts, behaviours and experiences in the present. The insight gained from greater self-awareness can often improve relationships, alleviate emotional suffering and lead to long-lasting, positive change.
When considering psychotherapy it is a good idea to meet once or twice to get a sense of the issues which are troubling you. Each consultation will give you the chance to experience what psychotherapy is like and to fully explore whether therapy is right for you.
I offer one-off consultations, short-term and open-ended psychotherapy. I work with adults and welcome enquiries from people of any gender, ethnicity or background.
