Ri Shuja
Hi, I am a UK trained and registered online Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist .
I specialise in evidence-based, integrative therapeutic methods - this means I have a range of tools to help and tailor for each unique client, to neurologically and physiologically reframe negative thought patterns and behaviours.
But - what does that mean for you?
To be honest, there is a lot of info and services out there, but it left me confused and I did not want to offer the same run of the mill therapy nor words, but to a degree on a website, I have to write the official stuff and show my credentials.
In real terms, what it means is that I conduct my therapy in ways you may not be used to. I offer what I had lacked and had to do myself. My sessions are about really breaking things down for you, for helping you see more than just one view, for challenging you, for allowing you to think through not just think in all the time, otherwise there is no progress, (but many therapists can make a good living this way). I am interested in getting you out of the patterns that hold you back and moving on from therapy, so you can hold your own in the world. We all have everything we need inside of us, sometimes we just need a little help unravelling that.
I provide you with information that is usually held back, why I do not know, or made complicated or requires so much investment when people simply do not have the time nor energy in the world we live in today. This does not mean a commitment is not required of you - that is, yes you will feel a lot, go through a lot and I will help you as best as I can, but you need to be prepared to a degree because your best self, your true potential lies at the other side. Once you start, it will get easier and you will see for yourself, you are stronger and braver than you know!
I work with adult clients globally, through online sessions, so we can collaborate at a time and place that suits you.
I have experience of working with multi-cultural, LGBTQ and adults of diaspora communities, both male and female.
You might be feeling like you...

Are stuck in the same patterns
Overthink or feel anxious
Know what to do, but can’t seem to change
Are limited by your fears or beliefs
Tried therapy before but it didn't meet all your needs
Are disconnected from yourself, others, or your direction
It's ok - there is a way forward from these states.
Read below and book your free call to see why my therapy sessions differ from mainstream models, and why there is something new to help you get back on track
You know you want to feel differently...
So, that change begins with something simple; having the right space where you can think and feel freely, without needing to filter or explain yourself.
But, real change comes from going beyond talking.
Unlike conversations with friends or family, this is a space where we actively work with your patterns - not just discuss them.
My role is to help you step out of cycles of overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or self-sabotage, and reconnect with a deeper understanding of yourself.
By exploring your internal experience - your thoughts, emotions, and personal history in a dynamic way- we begin to reframe what those experiences mean.
Not by dismissing them.
Not by forcing positivity.
But, by helping you see them in a way that gives you more control.
This is why my approach is more practical and interactive - it's designed to provide you with solutions, not rumination. This is why I have so much success with my clients - because they get to engage in their therapy rather than simply being a bystander expressing their feelings with not much in return.
So, the past need no longer define how you feel or respond now. By rewriting your story, you can choose who you want to be, moving forward with a greater sense of clarity, calm, and empowerment.

Designed to be different
Engaging
working together as client & therapist. I utilise science, philosophy and psychology to conduct our sessions which are active & productive
Interactive
aimed at identifying the unconscious motivators and processes behind issues in order to get to the root of your challenge for faster tangible results
Practical
using evidence-based visual, auditory and kinaesthetic (physical/sensory) techniques to help you connect with your mind and body
Safe
a safe and supportive environment to develop healthier day-to-day practices.

Models of Therapy -
Adapted to You
A space where there is Something suitable for Everyone - I do not treat the label, but utilise the uniqueness of each person.
Hence, the following schools of psychotherapy and psychology form the foundational basis of my interest, training and practice . I am able to use a mix of these - tailored to you in order to help you resolve issues, rather than spending a lot of your time, money and energy simply talking - which is common in traditional counselling / psychoanalytic practices, that does not always work for everyone, nor for some, long-term :
-
Integrative Psychotherapy
-
Time Line Therapy™
-
Solution-focused hypnotherapy
-
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
-
IFS - Internal Family Systems (Part's work)
-
EMDR
-
Psychoanalysis (Freud / Jung)
-
Behavioural hypnotherapy
-
Gestalt
-
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
-
Transactional Analysis
-
Attachment Theory
-
Creative Therapy (Journaling / Drawing)
-
Zen / Yogic Practices
I also provide clients with as much psycho-education as I can in order to help understand how our biology plays a role in our way of feeling, acting and healing.

What do other clients say?
As I previously tried some form of therapy, Ri definitely has changed my perspective on it. The sessions were very helpful and very productive. Ri's approach is actions/results driven which is great and different from other therapies I had before. In addition, Ri is a very smart, sharp and compassionate person. It was great for me to exchange with her and it was easy for me to explain myself to her and feel understood. I without any doubt recommend her and thank her for the huge impact she had on me.

Ri is an amazing therapist. She is kind, considerate and I really feel she is on my team and wants me to improve. I feel very comfortable speaking to Ri about some of the most significant emotional events that happened in my life, and Ri has not only helped transform my issues but also given me the tools and confidence to take with me in between sessions and into the world. Ri has been amazing to work with and I can highly recommend her to anybody looking for some support.

Ri was my first 'hypnotherapist', I was initially unsure about what this type of therapy was and how I would deal with it but it ended up being the best decision I took ! Ri was not like my previous therapist, she was so engaging and understanding whilst really helping me face my issues. I loved the sensory body work which hypnotherapy offered as I connected to parts of myself I hadn't previously. She remains my go to as now I want to evolve in so many other areas of my life!
