About Zohreh
Zohreh Safarnezhadi is an ACA counsellor with five years of professional experience in Australia. She supports people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse. She also helps parents who are juggling the demands of caregiving and family life.
Zohreh invites people to bring their whole story and meets them with calm focus and practical steps. Her approach starts with listening so she can understand each person's priorities.
Background and approach
She works collaboratively and helps people identify strengths they already have. Together they set small, manageable goals to reduce distress and improve daily coping. Sessions are straightforward and aim to build skills that can be used between appointments.
Zohreh uses a blend of techniques such as acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural methods, mindfulness exercises and trauma-focused strategies. These are chosen to fit the person's needs and preferences rather than as fixed rules. She stays flexible and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
People can expect respectful, down-to-earth conversation that focuses on what matters most to them. Zohreh encourages practical problem solving and emotional awareness. Her work is aimed at helping people feel more able to handle difficult moments and move toward a more satisfying life.
Evidence-informed approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action even when strong emotions are present. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices and breathing techniques to increase calm and improve emotional awareness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress regularly, adjusting the plan if something is not working.
Online sessions are offered with flexibility in mind. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around school, work and family commitments and to keep up with appointments from different locations.
