Zehra Kirca, NCPS

Zehra Kirca is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of practical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns and coping with life changes, and mentions guilt and shame among her focus areas. Zehra writes that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to how she works.

She describes a relaxed, non-pressured counselling style. Sessions begin by listening to the client’s story and identifying what matters most right now. Zehra prefers to work collaboratively so clients can set their own goals and move at a comfortable pace.

Her background includes many years working in education, where she met people from a wide range of backgrounds. That experience, she says, helped her adapt how she talks with different individuals and shaped the practical skills she uses in sessions.

In practice she helps people unpack difficult feelings and make sense of confusing or painful events. That can include working through grief and loss, relationship breakdown, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, or the particular pain of guilt and shame.

Zehra emphasises ordinary strengths people already have. She helps identify those strengths and build on them with straightforward conversation and reflection. The pace is set by the client and conversations can cover emotional processing, coping strategies and clearer communication.

People often come for help with midlife questions, pregnancy and childbirth issues, or to handle isolation and loneliness. Zehra accepts international clients and runs sessions in English, using an approach rooted in listening and client-centred work.
