About Reihaneh

Reihaneh Sabzalian is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She works in English and Persian and supports clients from the United Kingdom and overseas. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.

She uses a mix of person-centred work, attachment ideas, and cognitive-behavioural techniques. That means sessions often focus on understanding what matters to the person, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying small changes in thinking and behaviour.

Background and approach

Reihaneh keeps sessions simple and concrete, so clients leave with things they can try between meetings. Reihaneh holds a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of professional experience working with a range of concerns including motivation and confidence as well as mood difficulties.

Her style is warm and respectful. She treats people as experts in their own lives while offering gentle guidance and practical tools. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with a focus on safety and steady progress.

Reihaneh can work with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, and relationship patterns. She also supports people dealing with chronic health challenges, body image worries, codependency, and the emotional side of separation and divorce. Her aim is to help people build coping skills and clearer ways forward.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Reihaneh draws on person-centred work, attachment-informed thinking, and cognitive-behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own answers, which can ease feelings of shame or overwhelm. Attachment-informed ideas look at patterns in relationships and help people understand how past connections shape present reactions. Cognitive-behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will ask about your goals and try a few methods to see what feels most useful. That collaborative way helps tailor sessions so they match your needs and preferences over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial expressions and work through exercises together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief check-ins, regular encouragement, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care across different locations and busy schedules.
