About Zhanna

Zhanna Murphy, NCPS, has four years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She has practised both in agencies and in private settings, helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She also works with depression, grief, emotional regulation difficulties and childhood trauma.

Her background combines several therapeutic approaches so she can adapt to what a person prefers. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps alongside exploring feelings. Conversations are paced to the person’s needs, with moments for skills practice and reflection. She draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities.

Zhanna works in English and Russian. She holds the NCPS credential as listed and has worked with people from a range of backgrounds and life circumstances. She does not accept international clients at this time.

Practical details are handled through the booking system. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Zhanna commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at connection and trust and can help when relationship dynamics or attachment issues feel difficult. She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that suit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as these are handled through the practitioner listing. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can also use mindfulness exercises and thought-records during sessions to support day-to-day coping.
