Your Therapist
Ri Shuja – Online Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist
UK-trained and registered, I work with adult clients worldwide using an integrative, evidence-based approach, combining psychotherapy and hypnotherapy to help you change unhelpful patterns in thinking, behaviour and emotional response.
My work is active and outcome-focused, not just talking. We look at what's really driving the patterns, so change happens both in session and in everyday life.
Sound Familiar?
You Might Be Feeling Like..
Stuck in the same patterns?
Overthink or feel anxious?
Know what to do, but can't seem to change?
Limited by your fears or beliefs?
Tried therapy before but it didn't meet all your needs?
Disconnected from yourself, others, or your direction?
It's ok — there is a way forward from these states.
Read on (and book your free call) to see why my therapy sessions differ from mainstream models — and why there's something new to help you get back on track.
What Actually Change
You know you want to feel differently
Not Just Talking
Change usually starts with something quite simple — having a space where you can think and feel without filtering yourself or trying to explain everything perfectly.
But real change doesn't come from talking alone. This isn't the same as speaking with friends or family. In our sessions, we actually work with what's going on for you — the patterns underneath things — rather than just describing them.
What We Actually Do
My role is to help you step out of cycles like overthinking, emotional overwhelm, or self-sabotage, and to understand what's really driving them.
We look at your thoughts, your emotional responses, and your past experiences — but in a way that moves things forward, not just circles around them.
Practical, Not "Positive Thinking"
It's not about dismissing what you feel. And it's not about forcing yourself to "think positively." It's about seeing things more clearly, in a way that gives you more choice in how you respond.
The work is practical and involved. You're not just talking — you're engaging with the process and starting to shift things as we go.
Your past plays a role in how you feel now — but it doesn't have to define it.
What Changes Over Time
Over time, this helps you feel more steady, more aware of what's happening internally, and less pulled around by the same patterns.
Change comes from understanding those patterns and doing something different with them.
My Method
Models of Therapy, Adapted to You
Each person has a different set of experiences, patterns and ways of responding — so I don't follow one fixed method. I draw from a range of approaches within psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, tailored to you, with the aim of helping you resolve what's going on — not spend long periods simply talking without clear direction.
Alongside this, I place importance on helping you understand what's happening on a biological level — how your nervous system, patterns and responses are connected. This kind of understanding can make change feel more grounded, practical and easier to apply in everyday life.

Real Experiences
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.
Mr M
Lisbon
I came to Ri with a long list of traumas, and she worked through each one with me. She has been patient, kind and deeply caring throughout our sessions, supporting my growth and healing every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone whether you’re going through a tough time, feel you’ve lost yourself, or simply need someone to truly listen. Ri is a wonderful therapist who is genuinely here to help.
Mr C
London
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!
Ms A
London
I can honestly say Ri is incredible. I have been with many different therapists before and Ri is the first one I have found that has given me hope in therapy again. I find myself saying “wow you’re really good” multiple times in our session as she is able to use her knowledge to connect several situations in my life. I usually found therapists never tell me something new… but Ri actually educates me a lot about how I’m feeling and why I’m feeling that way. For once, I’m learning something new and able to understand/process the things that brought me to therapy. I can see her being my therapist for the next 10 years (if she’d have me!). 1000% recommend.
