Zhanna Murphy, NCPS

Zhanna Murphy draws on four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. Zhanna aims to make sessions simple and practical so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into their day.

Before moving into private practice she worked in agency settings where she supported people with a wide range of problems. That background gave her experience with grief, addiction, anger, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self‑esteem.

Her approach is flexible and collaborative. She uses elements from attachment-based approaches, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions tend to focus on building understanding, learning coping skills, and practising small changes between meetings.

Zhanna works in English and Russian and holds NCPS as a credential. She sees people in the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. Therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging for people who need different ways to connect.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Zhanna aims to help clients find practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope.

How Zhanna’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways in close relationships and supports building safer connection habits. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions; it offers practical techniques for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Zhanna will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through issues much like an in‑person session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone needs to fit therapy into a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these options to make therapy more accessible and manageable for different lifestyles.
