Zahrasadat SabaBACP

Zahrasadat Saba is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stressful life moments. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting struggles, grief and self-harm. Zahra offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways forward.

She follows a client-centred approach, which means the person sets the pace and topics for each session. Zahra also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support coping and small, achievable changes. These methods suit people who want both listening and concrete tools to manage day-to-day difficulties.

Zahra has five years of experience in the mental health field and holds BACP accreditation. She has worked with adults from different backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns, including post-traumatic stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also notes a focus on pregnancy and childbirth matters.

She works with both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on each person’s goals. Zahra sometimes uses creative exercises alongside conversation, and she can offer Single Session Therapy when that fits someone’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and take place in the United Kingdom.

People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and creating space to talk. Online sessions using this approach let the client guide topics and pace while the counsellor reflects and clarifies. This suits people who need a listening ear and time to find their own solutions.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, often shortened to DBT, combines practical coping skills with attention to emotions and relationships. When DBT elements are used online, clients can learn techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness and then practise them between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zahra will discuss different ways of working and help decide what fits best based on each person’s goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare or medical appointments and can reduce travel time. Some people prefer a shorter check-in by audio, while others choose longer sessions on camera to work through complex issues. Discuss practical arrangements when scheduling to find what suits everyday life best.
