She also works with multicultural and immigration-related issues, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth matters, and midlife questions.

Zahrasadat draws on evidence-informed methods such as mindfulness techniques, solution-focused exercises and dialectical behaviour therapy strategies when helpful to the person. These approaches are used flexibly and tailored to the clientor example brief coping steps or longer skills work for emotion regulation.

With five years of experience in the mental health field, she aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and practise new ways of coping. People seeking practical support alongside reflective conversation may find her style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Zahrasadat often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings to each session. This approach helps people feel heard and to clarify their own goals and values. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - DBT - ideas such as practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed online.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Zahrasadat will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy continues so the plan fits you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a conversational session that feels close to face-to-face, while phone calls can be a simpler option if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can suit shorter check-ins, coaching-style tasks or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and other commitments.
