About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. She works with young adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Reihaneh also supports people dealing with motivation and confidence concerns related to early adulthood changes.
Her approach draws on person-centred practice, attachment theory and cognitive-behavioural ideas. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps. Clients can expect to talk through what is happening now and try small, achievable changes between meetings.
Reihaneh pays attention to how relationships shape current feelings. She talks about patterns from past attachments and how these affect trust, closeness and communication now. That perspective is helpful for people facing commitment worries, abandonment feelings or difficulties with connection.
Practical skills from cognitive-behavioural work are used alongside reflective discussion. That might include looking at unhelpful thinking, testing beliefs in everyday life, and building routines that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Work on self-esteem often combines noticing strengths with small behavioural experiments.
She speaks English and Persian and is based in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Reihaneh draws primarily on person-centred work, attachment theory and cognitive-behavioural ideas. Person-centred work means the conversation centres on the client's experience and priorities, helping them clarify what matters and what to try next. Attachment-focused discussion looks at patterns from past relationships and how these influence current trust and closeness, which can help with commitment fears or abandonment feelings.Cognitive-behavioural ideas involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments. This approach is useful for managing anxiety, improving mood and building confidence through doable steps rather than large immediate changes. Each approach is explained plainly and used in ways that fit what the client wants to achieve.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options together, check what feels helpful, and adapt plans so techniques suit the client's goals and lifestyle. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to focus more on thinking patterns, relationship history, or practical routines.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work or caring duties, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep therapy consistent with everyday life while helping clients practise changes between appointments.
