Background and approach

That can mean short-term problem solving or longer work focusing on patterns and meaning. Zahra also offers single session therapy for people who need a one-off focused meeting. Her approach draws on client-centred listening, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.

She helps people build skills for managing strong emotions and coping with triggers that come from trauma, grief or stressful life events. Conversations aim to be straightforward and useful rather than full of jargon. Zahra has five years of experience in mental health settings and holds BACP registration, which indicates she works within recognised counselling standards.

She has helped people with a wide range of concerns including self-harm, addictions, relationship strain, parenting difficulties and career stress. Sessions are offered in English and Persian. Zahra uses a mix of talking, practical exercises and simple mindfulness practices so clients leave with tools they can try between meetings.

People often come for help with anxiety, low mood, trauma-related issues or major life transitions. Zahra aims to create an ordinary, steady space where clients can work through what matters to them and try new ways of coping.

How Zahra’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. Online sessions allow the counsellor to offer that same attentive, person-led space through conversation and reflective listening, helping people clarify what matters most to them.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improving relationships. In online work these skills translate into short coaching moments, guided exercises and written handouts that clients can practise between sessions to manage anxiety and strong emotions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment focus. These techniques work well through video or audio guidance and can be practised as short exercises in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Zahra will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods together to see what fits. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and shared exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments while still working with a registered professional.
