About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has worked in agency settings and in private practice. Her caseload has included stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression and grief.
She also supports people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with emotional regulation. Parenting strain, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes are part of her focus. Blended family issues and attachment concerns are listed among her additional areas of work.
Her approach draws on several well known methods and adapts to the person's needs. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, noticing how feelings and thoughts link, and trying out small behaviour changes. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with attention and stress management.
Zhanna describes her style as client-centred, which focuses on the person’s experience in the room. Attachment-based ideas are applied when relationships and loyalty conflicts come up. Cognitive techniques are used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking.
She works with English and Russian speakers. For people new to therapy she advises starting with a short match questionnaire and then scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this focus to map loyalty conflicts, closeness and distance in blended households and stepfamily roles. Client-centred work prioritises the person’s experience and uses open conversation to identify what matters now and what to try next. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques over a few sessions and adjusting what is used as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals often use adaptable approaches that fit everyday schedules and practical constraints.
