Mr Shah Hussain
Psychologist
“I am a Clinical Health Psychologist and Public Health professional with over 15 years of experience providing evidence-based psychological assessment, psychotherapy, counselling, and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services in clinical, community, and humanitarian settings. My expertise spans the prevention, assessment, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and PTSD, stress-related disorders, grief and bereavement, adjustment disorders, panic disorder, phobias, anger management, low self-esteem, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and psychosomatic concerns. I provide individual, couples, and family counselling to address relationship difficulties, marital conflict, communication challenges, parenting concerns, family adjustment, and interpersonal issues. I also support individuals facing life transitions, career-related stress, workplace mental health concerns, academic pressure, decision-making challenges, and personal development goals. My professional experience includes HIV/AIDS counselling and the psychosocial management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), where I provide confidential pre- and post-test counselling, treatment adherence support, risk-reduction education, stigma reduction, behavioural change counselling, and emotional support for individuals and their families. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, refugees, returnees, and other vulnerable populations, delivering trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care. My therapeutic practice integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), supportive psychotherapy, person-centred therapy, psychoeducation, crisis intervention, stress management, and resilience-building interventions tailored to each client's unique needs. I am committed to maintaining the highest standards of professional ethics, confidentiality, and evidence-based practice. My goal is to empower individuals, couples, and families to overcome psychological challenges, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, enhance overall well-being, and achieve lasting positive change through compassionate, client-centred care. ”
