About Zahrasadat
Zahrasadat Saba is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who bring issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, grief, and problems tied to family of origin. Zahrasadat also sees people dealing with addiction, parenthood strains, relationship and intimacy worries, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She uses a client-centred stance, letting the person set the pace and focus of sessions. That means sessions tend to follow what the client brings rather than a fixed agenda. Zahrasadat mixes practical techniques with creative exercises, and she works both short term and long term depending on what the person needs.
Her approach includes elements of mindfulness and solution-focused work to support clearer thinking and small, achievable steps. She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy skills when emotion regulation or intense distress is present. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning, values and life choices when clients want that type of reflection.
Sessions can include single-session work when a one-off focused conversation is the right fit. Zahrasadat works in English and Persian and has experience with a wide range of life stages and cultural backgrounds. Her practice includes people facing immigration-related strain, midlife change, cancer-related concerns, and women's issues among other topics.
People who come because guilt and shame are weighing on them will find a counsellor who focuses on what they bring, helps name patterns, and practices skills to manage strong feelings in daily life.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on following what the person brings and responding without imposing a fixed plan. Online sessions using this stance let the counsellor listen closely and adapt each meeting to immediate concerns, whether that means talking through a single problem or pacing longer work.Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and steady thinking. In an online session these can be practised together and then applied between sessions to manage anxiety and distress. Solution-focused methods look for small, practical steps and notice what works; online meetings can be used to set brief experiments and review progress quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the issues at hand, then agree on whether to lean more on mindfulness skills, DBT-informed emotion skills, solution-focused tasks or reflective existential questions. This is treated as a collaborative process. The original profile does not list which specific online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, support shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow practices such as breathing exercises or brief worksheets to be done between meetings.
