About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationships and low self-esteem. She supports clients tackling career and motivation problems, parenting strain, grief, trauma-related concerns and questions about intimacy. She also offers coaching for professional development and works with issues around ADHD, LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue.
Zhakirah aims to make the first step feel less daunting. She creates an open, non-judgmental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on what matters to the person sitting in the room, not on labels or quick fixes.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles, which means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes.
Over six years of practice have shaped a practical, warm style. Zhakirah combines listening with straightforward tools that people can use between sessions. She encourages self-compassion and realistic steps rather than pressure to change overnight.
People who want a calm, steady counsellor to talk things through may find her approach useful. Prospective clients can expect a blend of steady listening and practical suggestions aimed at everyday progress.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, allowing people to set the pace and topics of discussion. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and patterns. It can help people who notice repeating relationship difficulties or who want to understand why they respond strongly in certain situations.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, panic and low mood by giving practical steps to test new ways of thinking and acting.
Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Conversations in early sessions guide the plan rather than imposing one fixed method.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel time. It also supports checking in from quieter surroundings or fitting a shorter session into a work break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often combine steady listening with practical exercises that can be used between sessions.
