About Me
Hello, I am Shiza Anwar, a dedicated psychology professional offering supportive psychological counselling to individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, relationship dynamics, and relocation challenges.
I hold an M.A. in Psychology from Berlin. My academic foundation allows me to view personal challenges within a broader personal and cultural context. Having relocated to Berlin myself, I have a deep personal and professional appreciation for the unique psychological landscape of the expat journey, identity shifts, and intercultural adaptation.
Who I Support
My counselling practice is dedicated to welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds, providing a safe, inclusive, and affirmative space for:
• International Expats & Immigrants: Navigating culture shock, isolation, and the emotional adjustment of building a life in Germany.
• Families, Parents & Intercultural Couples: Resolving communication breakdowns, managing parenting pressures, and strengthening multi-cultural relationship dynamics.
• International Students: Managing academic stress, loneliness, and the transition into higher education abroad.
• The LGBTQIA+ Community: Navigating identity development, coming out, and building healthy chosen family networks.
• Working Professionals & Caregivers: Overcoming corporate burnout, navigating international career changes, and managing caregiver fatigue.
My Approach & Specialties
My practice focuses on resource building, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies designed to help you regain emotional balance and resilience. I incorporate evidence-based concepts tailored to your unique situation, focusing on:
• Family & Relationship Counselling: Helping partners and families identify reactive communication patterns, navigate parenting stresses, and build mutual empathy.
• Anger Management & Emotional Regulation
• Anxiety, Stress & Burnout Management
• Supportive Transition Counselling: Providing dedicated guidance for low mood, loneliness, culture shock, and career adjustments.
My Professional Scope & Boundaries
As a non-clinical psychologist, my services are designed for preventative care, personal growth, and coping support. Please note that my practice
focuses on psychological counselling rather than curative clinical psychotherapy. I do not issue formal clinical diagnoses or treat acute, severe psychiatric crises. If you are experiencing a severe clinical condition, I am happy to provide supportive framework care alongside your primary medical or licensed psychotherapeutic treatment.
