Zhakirah Bibi

Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She also offers coaching for professional and executive concerns and helps with motivation and confidence. She works with issues such as grief, trauma, parenting strain and separation during divorce and separation. In sessions she aims to make talking feel straightforward and safe. She encourages honest sharing of thoughts and feelings without judgement. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice to explore how relationships shape emotions. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, and simple mindfulness tools to manage stressful moments. These methods are presented plainly so people can use them in daily life. Zhakirah takes a collaborative style. She listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Meetings often include a mix of talking, reflection and small exercises aimed at building confidence and coping skills. She holds the NCPS credential and brings six years of experience supporting people through change. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. It helps people understand why they respond to others the way they do and can be useful for relationship strain and separation issues.

Client-centred therapy focuses on supportive listening and helping people find their own answers. This approach aims to build confidence and a stronger sense of self by following the client's pace and concerns.

She can also use cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical experiments to change them, and mindfulness techniques to manage anxious moments. Together these methods offer tools for day-to-day coping and clearer decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk it through with each person and agree what fits best with their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote meetings help people maintain continuity during life transitions.
