About Zoleikha
Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 19 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. She also lists ADHD among her main concerns. Her approach is straightforward and practical.
Her work focuses on creating time to talk through difficult feelings and situations. Sessions are intended to let people say what is on their mind without judgment. She asks questions and reflects what she hears so clients can notice patterns and options for change.
Dr Gholizadeh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily challenges. That can include step-by-step strategies for anxiety and panic, ways to manage anger and impulsivity, and approaches for repetitive thoughts and compulsions. She also supports people dealing with issues such as bereavement around cancer, fertility stress, postpartum low mood and multicultural concerns.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She works with clients to set small, manageable goals and to test new ways of coping between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needed.
Sessions are offered in English, Azerbaijani and Persian. International clients are accepted. People who prefer to start by answering a short questionnaire and booking a first session are asked to use the site booking flow to begin.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Dr Gholizadeh draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common difficulties. One approach focuses on step-by-step strategies for anxiety and panic; it teaches methods to reduce physical symptoms, manage fear in the moment and practise facing avoided situations in small steps. Another approach targets repetitive thoughts and compulsions by helping people recognise unhelpful patterns and try alternative responses that reduce checking or rituals.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with each client and decide together which techniques fit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose a quieter time or a shorter meeting if that helps them take the first step into therapy.
