My Qualifications & Expertise

My extensive training includes a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from University College London, alongside specialist qualifications in Family Therapy from Essex University-Tavistock and the Institute of Family Therapy. I bring a comprehensive range of evidence-based approaches to my practice, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Family Therapy.


Areas I Specialise In

I work with adults, adolescents, families, and couples, with particular expertise in:
- Learning disabilities and neurodiversity (including dyslexia, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder)
- Relationship difficulties and family dynamics
- Stress, trauma, and life transitions
- Anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
- Sleep difficulties and health-related challenges
- Grief, bereavement, and loss
- Religious and cultural identity issues


My Cultural Understanding

I'm fluent in English, Bengali, and Sylheti, with strong Hindi and Urdu skills, which allows me to provide culturally sensitive therapy that honours my clients' diverse backgrounds. Having a deep understanding of Islamic principles, I've helped many people navigate complexities around religion and religious beliefs. My previous work as an independent court interpreter has given me invaluable insight into family dynamics and relationship challenges.


My Community Commitment

Since 2016, I've served as Chairperson of the Bangladeshi Mental Health Forum, demonstrating my commitment to mental health awareness beyond clinical practice. I regularly contribute to community television and radio programmes, delivering presentations and training that improve psychological wellbeing across diverse audiences.

Dr Shamsun's amazing. She has literally changed my life. I have been a bad sleeper for so many years and since having my sessions with her, I'm actually sleeping. Dr Shamsun has also helped me with so many aspects of life…I cannot stress enough how helpful and life changing it has been.
