About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as motivation and confidence. Reihaneh communicates in English and Persian.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas, attachment theory and cognitive behavioural techniques. In practice that means conversations focus on what matters most to the client, while also looking at patterns in relationships and the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
Sessions are conversational and practical. Reihaneh listens for strengths in a client’s story and then helps people try small changes that make a difference day to day. She outlines options clearly and works together with clients to choose what to try next.
When working with trauma, grief or long-standing low self-esteem she pays attention to how early relationships and attachment patterns shape current feelings. For anxiety or depression she draws on cognitive-behavioural strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and to build coping steps.
People who come for help with relationship struggles, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image or separation find she combines understanding of personal history with practical steps. The initial contact involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so administrative details are clear up front.
Approaches online and how they fit your problem
Reihaneh works from a mix of person-centred listening, attachment ideas and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on clear, respectful listening and helping clients name what matters most. It suits people who need space to tell the story and find their own pace.Attachment-informed work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current feelings and reactions. This can be useful for shame, abandonment fears and relationship difficulties. Cognitive-behavioural techniques break down unhelpful thoughts and build small doable changes, which helps with anxiety, low mood and problems that repeat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Reihaneh aims to explore options together and decide which mix of methods fits the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative choice is revisited as progress or new issues appear.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats when booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
