About Zohreh
Zohreh Safarnezhadi is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Persian and uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy.
Zohreh frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and practical options. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings alongside talking through how habits, thoughts and feelings interact.
Her style is straightforward and problem-focused. For anxiety and stress she uses CBT tools to track thoughts and build different responses. With trauma-related difficulties she draws on trauma-focused methods and mindfulness to help people notice and regulate intense emotions.
For relationship and family concerns she helps people improve communication and set realistic boundaries. When parenting topics come up she works on coping strategies, managing overwhelm and practical routines that support both carer and child needs.
People who prefer a collaborative, skills-based approach often find this helpful. Zohreh aims to help clients try small, doable changes and then refine what works. To start, people complete a short questionnaire so sessions can focus on their immediate priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that align with them. It helps when people feel stuck or when they want clearer direction in life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets symptoms that persist after upsetting events and combines careful processing with skills to manage intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then try approaches together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process with the person setting priorities and giving feedback on what helps.
