About Zohreh
Zohreh Safarnezhadi is an ACA counsellor with five years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and those dealing with relationship and family tensions. She also supports people affected by trauma and abuse, and those facing parenting challenges.
She approaches each person as the expert on their own life. She looks for strengths that can be used to manage hard times and help people move towards change. Zohreh aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to offer steady support along the way.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness. These tools are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, try new behaviours, and build routines that reduce stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of her work when past harm affects day-to-day life.
People can expect clear conversation about goals and small, achievable steps between sessions. Zohreh focuses on skills and strategies people can use straight away. She adapts pace and techniques to each person’s needs and circumstances.
She offers therapy in English and Persian and works from Australia. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
How ACT, CBT and Trauma-Focused Therapy work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It supports people who feel stuck with worry, stress or role pressures to move towards a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and manage stress. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harm by gradually building skills to manage distress and regain control over daily routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. Expectations are adjusted over time so the approach stays useful and relevant.
The therapist's profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, offering shorter check-ins, or allowing people to join from different locations. These practical benefits can help people maintain regular work on goals and strategies between appointments.
