Zimren Shams

Hi, my name is Zimren. I am a trainee psychotherapist who cares deeply about creating a space where people feel comfortable being themselves. Many of the people I work with are carrying thoughts or feelings they have not shared openly before, and I approach this with sensitivity, patience, and respect. I am mindful that each person’s story is shaped not only by personal experiences, but also by their background, relationships, and the wider world they live in.

I welcome people from all backgrounds and life experiences. I am attentive to how different aspects of identity, culture, and personal history can intersect and shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us. While these factors may be part of our conversations, the focus of therapy will always be guided by what feels most relevant and meaningful to you.

Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, especially if you are not sure what you want to talk about yet. In our sessions, there is no pressure to say things in a particular way or to move at a certain pace. We can take time to get to know what feels safe and useful for you. My aim is to offer a space that feels steady and supportive, where difficult thoughts or feelings can be explored gently.

If you are considering therapy and would like to explore whether working together might feel right for you, you are welcome to get in touch.
