About Zahrasadat
Zahrasadat Saba, BACP counsellor, has around five years working in mental health in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety and a broad range of concerns including trauma, self-harm, grief and relationship strain. Zahrasadat works with adults from different backgrounds and uses both short-term and longer-term work depending on what the person needs.
She follows a client-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows the person's priorities in sessions. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help people notice patterns and try practical steps between meetings. Sessions can involve talking, gentle exercises and planning small experiments to test out new ways of coping.
Zahrasadat uses skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotional regulation or intense stress is present, offering concrete tools for distress tolerance and managing strong feelings. Her work attends to life stages and transitions such as parenting challenges, midlife shifts, pregnancy and childbirth, and the effects of immigration or cultural change.
She has experience with issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, intimacy-related problems and women’s issues. Eating, sleeping and career struggles are also part of what she helps people address. Zahrasadat can support people dealing with grief, cancer-related stress, domestic violence impacts and family of origin difficulties.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and priorities and involves the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what they hear. This approach suits people who want time to talk through what matters most and set their own pace.Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and strong emotional reactions by offering practical exercises to use day to day.
Solution-focused work looks at small, achievable steps and practical changes rather than lengthy analysis. It is useful when someone wants short-term help to tackle a specific problem or to build coping routines quickly.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work in sessions. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences and may adapt the plan as the work progresses.
If you are considering online meetings, please check the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also allow not being on camera for some appointments and can reduce bandwidth needs compared with video in certain situations. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to offer flexible ways to attend therapy that suit everyday life.
