More about Fawad Shah
Fawad Shah is a compassionate Clinical Mental Health and Addiction Counsellor known for his grounded, respectful, and evidence-based approach to healing. Registered in both New Zealand and Australia, Fawad brings a global perspective to his work, shaped by professional experience across New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Pakistan, and Morocco. This international background allows him to support clients with deep cultural awareness and sensitivity.
His therapeutic approach is eclectic yet intentional, drawing from well-researched modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Fawad works collaboratively with clients to understand patterns, build psychological flexibility, and develop practical tools that support meaningful and lasting change.
Fawad specializes in supporting individuals navigating alcohol and substance use challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, and male-specific mental health concerns. He is particularly attentive to the unique pressures men often face around emotional expression, identity, responsibility, and seeking help, creating a space where vulnerability is met with respect rather than judgment.
He approaches healing holistically recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and soul. While his work is grounded in evidence-based practice, he remains attentive to clients’ cultural values, spiritual beliefs, and personal worldviews. Faith and spirituality are integrated thoughtfully when meaningful to the client, ensuring care that feels aligned rather than imposed.
Clients often describe Fawad as calm, supportive, and deeply present. He is committed to creating a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, process difficult emotions, and build resilience at their own pace.
Fawad believes that healing is not about perfection, but about progress and self-compassion. He understands that reaching out for support can feel daunting, especially when dealing with addiction or long-standing struggles. Whether you’re seeking clarity, recovery, or a renewed sense of balance, Fawad offers a steady and empathetic presence to walk alongside you one step at a time.
