About Zahrasadat

Zahrasadat Saba works with stress, anxiety, trauma and a broad range of life concerns using a client-centred way of working where the person’s priorities lead each session. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in the mental health field.

Zahrasadat meets adults from varied backgrounds and focuses on what people bring to the room. She works with issues such as depression, parenting problems, grief, self-harm, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, and addictions. She also supports people facing career change, multicultural or immigration challenges, and health-related concerns like cancer and pregnancy changes.

Her practice draws on client-centred principles, which keep the person's view central, and on solution-focused methods to help set practical steps between sessions. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with everyday stress and distress. Where appropriate she adapts elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and existential ideas to help with emotional regulation and questions about meaning.

Sessions can be short-term or longer term depending on what someone wants to work on, and she offers single session therapy for focused concerns. Zahrasadat uses a mix of conversational and practical exercises, and sometimes creative tasks when those fit the work.

She offers counselling in English and Persian and is based in the United Kingdom. Her approach aims to help people build clearer ways of coping, make manageable changes, and reduce overwhelming moments so they can carry on with day-to-day life.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and priorities, with the counsellor following the client's lead to build understanding and find practical next steps. It is useful for many everyday problems such as stress, relationship and parenting difficulties.

Dialectical behaviour therapy provides straightforward skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and managing strong reactions. These skills are practical and can be practised between sessions to reduce overwhelming moments.

Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and grounding practices to reduce rumination and support calmer responses to stress; it can help with sleep, anxiety and coping with life changes.

The counsellor works collaboratively to decide which approach or combination of approaches suits a person best, based on their goals and preferences. That means the work is reviewed as it goes and adapted if needed.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make counselling easier to fit around work, childcare or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins or audio-only options when that helps with bandwidth or practical timing.
