Jesmiya Basheer

Jesmiya Basheer works with children, teens, and families; helping kids who are struggling in school, feeling anxious, or just not being understood find their footing again. With a dual background in counselling psychology and special education, she brings both clinical depth and hands-on tools to help children heal, learn, and grow with confidence.

She can help if your child is dealing with:

  • Learning difficulties or falling behind academically
  • Low self-esteem or fear of failure
  • Academic anxiety or performance pressure
  • Trouble focusing, understanding, or keeping up in class
  • Peer problems, bullying, or social adjustment struggles
  • Emotional or behavioural difficulties at home or school
  • Developmental or academic delays
  • Teenage conflicts or family tension around a child’s growth

How she works

Jesmiya believes scholastic struggles are rarely just about academics. Often there’s fear, anxiety, or low self-worth underneath. She starts with a proper assessment to understand exactly where a child needs support, then builds a plan that rebuilds both skill and confidence while combining structured remedial learning with emotional support, so children don’t just catch up, they feel safe and capable while doing it. She also works closely with parents, helping bridge the gap between home and classroom.

Her background

Jesmiya holds a Master’s degree (M.A.) in Counselling Psychology and is an RCI Licensed Special Educator who holds a B.Ed in Special Education (Learning Disability), where she graduated as the 4th Rank Holder at Mahatma Gandhi University, qualified to work with children facing learning and developmental challenges.

Her training and experience allow her to work across:

Psychoeducational Assessment — using standardised tools to pinpoint exactly where a child needs support

Cognitive & Remedial Skill Building — strengthening reading, numeracy, comprehension, and phonological awareness

Emotional Regulation & CBT — addressing performance anxiety, negative self-talk, and school-related stress

Independent Learning Skills — helping children build self-monitoring, goal-setting, and study habits that last

Parent-School Collaboration — coordinating with parents and teachers for consistent support at home and in class

This combination of clinical psychology and special education training means Jesmiya doesn’t just treat the symptom. She looks at the whole child, addressing both the learning gap and the emotional weight that often comes with it.

Why people choose her

Every child, in Jesmiya’s view, carries potential. They just need the right space and the right support to access it. Parents choose her because she doesn’t just focus on grades; she helps children feel secure, understood, and genuinely empowered, while giving families practical tools to support that growth long after the session ends.
