Zeinab Moghnieh, BACP

Zeinab Moghnieh offers therapy for relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with major life changes. She speaks plain language and aims to make sessions feel calm and approachable. Zeinab uses a warm, non-judgemental manner so people can bring what matters to them. She is introduced here as a clear, steady presence for someone who needs space to think things through.

Zeinab draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's own experience and pace. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past patterns and early relationships influence current feelings and choices. Together these approaches help people understand their emotions, recurring reactions and relationship patterns.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. Zeinab is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows its code of ethics. She has three years of professional experience in therapeutic roles.

Before her current practice she volunteered with Listening Place supporting people with suicidal thoughts and with Age UK offering support for older people facing loneliness. She also has experience as a Mental Health Recovery Worker, providing emotional care to vulnerable adults.

In sessions she helps people notice their triggers, understand patterns of behaviour and make practical changes. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the individual. The goal is clearer self-understanding and more confident decision making.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It encourages honest expression of feelings and aims to build self-understanding through empathic listening and reflective conversation. This approach can help with self-esteem, relationship problems and the stress of life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early experiences and repeated patterns shape current reactions. It can help people who feel stuck in cycles of behaviour or who want to understand recurring emotional responses, such as patterns in close relationships and issues around attachment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Zeinab will work collaboratively to decide which ways of working best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and will be reviewed together.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video works well for a face-to-face feel, phone calls can be quicker and need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or days when speaking feels difficult. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and comfort.
