About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns and depression. Reihaneh also supports people dealing with related issues such as attachment difficulties, body image concerns, codependency and relationship separation.
Her approach blends person-centred listening, attachment theory ideas and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as exploring patterns formed in early relationships that still affect daily life. This combination aims to help people manage symptoms and build on their own strengths.
In a typical session she listens to what feels most pressing, then suggests small, manageable exercises to try between meetings. Work can include talking through recent events, practising thought exercises, and noticing unhelpful patterns in relationships. Reihaneh uses plain language and short explanations so sessions stay clear and focused.
She works in English and Persian and accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model for payments that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Reihaneh aims to help people build steady, usable ways to cope. Her style is direct and supportive while encouraging people to draw on their own resilience and strengths.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Reihaneh draws on person-centred practice, which focuses on the person’s own perspective and supports them to speak about what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs time to be heard and to make sense of their feelings in their own words.She also uses attachment theory ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behaviour and reactions. This helps people understand why they might feel anxious in social situations or struggle with trust and closeness.
Cognitive-behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them. These tools are useful for managing anxiety, reducing avoidance and testing new ways of handling social situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed. This collaborative process helps match the approach to what the client needs and wants.
