About Zohreh
Zohreh Safarnezhadi is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Her first aim is practical support for everyday problems in blended households and other family arrangements.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She helps clients identify what matters most and which small steps could change routines or calm a tense day. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-based strategies, along with mindfulness, to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
When trauma or difficult past events come up, she draws on trauma-focused work to help a person feel more in control of their reactions. Sessions often include breathing or attention exercises and simple behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.
Zohreh treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on strengths already present. She can help someone sorting household roles, negotiating co-parenting with an ex, or managing loyalty conflicts after a separation.
People meet her online in sessions that follow a clear, step-by-step process. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used and can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that fit what matters most. It can help when someone feels blocked by worry or guilt in a blended household. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can ease anxiety and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and day-to-day life. Clients can expect a mix of discussion, practical exercises and planning between sessions to try new strategies at home.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The focus is on making evidence-informed approaches usable in everyday family life rather than promising a specific format.
