About Zohreh
Zohreh Safarnezhadi is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
Zohreh uses clear, practical conversations to help people notice what matters to them. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on building on existing strengths. Sessions aim to make difficult problems easier to name and manage, not to rush past them.
Her background includes work with a range of family and relationship concerns, plus trauma-related issues. This experience informs how she approaches longer-term patterns and immediate stresses alike. People often come to discuss communication problems, caregiver strain, or the impact of past abuse.
Zohreh draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. She uses these approaches to teach practical skills for noticing thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and developing small behaviour changes.
People can expect a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. Zohreh helps clients set short-term goals, try out manageable steps between meetings, and reflect on what works for them. She offers sessions in English and Persian and asks prospective clients to follow the site's booking steps to begin.
How ACT, CBT and mindfulness can work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps that fit those values. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose meaningful actions rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches techniques to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety and stress through practical experiments and exposure tasks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help with anxiety and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zohreh will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then suggest a mix of methods that suit the issue and the person. That choice is made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people join from a quieter spot when that is possible. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum between sessions, try exercises at home, and bring everyday problems into discussion.
