About Zoleikha
Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a counsellor with 19 years of professional work in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and offers support in English, Azerbaijani and Persian.
Her practice focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, anger or low mood. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and practical. She creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
The first sessions typically clarify what is most troubling and what the person hopes to change. In ongoing work she helps people develop clearer coping steps and routines. That can mean managing panic or phobias, reducing compulsive behaviours, or addressing obsessive thoughts.
She also supports those dealing with mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, and the emotional impacts of cancer or fertility challenges. Dr. Gholizadeh pays attention to how culture and background shape a person’s experience.
She will talk through shame, guilt, relationship strain or isolation and make practical plans to reduce daily stress. People describe this as direct, compassionate help focused on what they can try between sessions. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
She accepts international clients and uses a mix of session formats to suit different schedules and communication preferences.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr Gholizadeh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life change. One common approach helps people learn practical skills to manage anxiety and panic so they can reduce avoidance and feel steadier in daily life. Another approach works with repetitive thoughts and behaviours linked to obsessions or compulsions, teaching gradual steps to lower distress and regain control.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss each option, listen to your goals and try a method that fits your needs and preferences. If something does not feel helpful, she will adapt the plan collaboratively so it better matches your pace and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel commitments and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
