About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in both agency settings and private practice. Zhanna supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and motivation problems.
Her work also covers depression, grief, difficulty managing emotions and the impact of childhood trauma. She uses an integrative approach and adapts to each person's needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can apply what they learn to daily life.
Zhanna draws on attachment-focused ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working that centre the person's own goals. Cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices are offered when they suit the person's situation.
Her additional focus areas include issues such as addiction, chronic pain or illness, body image and caregiver stress. She can help with difficult life transitions, anger, intimacy-related concerns and the emotional fallout from separation.
Zhanna offers work in English and Russian. Her registration is recorded as NCPS. Before booking, it is sensible to confirm current session options and practical details to find the best fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based ways of working focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people recognise repeating habits in close relationships and try different, healthier responses in day-to-day life. Client-centred methods place the person's agenda at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, helps clarify goals and follows the pace that feels right for the individual. Cognitive behavioural elements look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Practical techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep by changing unhelpful thinking and building new routines. Finding the right mix is part of the process and is worked out together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. This collaborative approach means methods can be adjusted as the work progresses. Session logistics should be checked before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up check-ins that keep momentum. You can discuss whether shorter check-ins, audio-only conversations or full sessions work better for your routine when you first connect.Areas of expertise
