About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She acknowledges how hard it can be to reach out and offers steady support for those ready to take a first step.
She works in a straightforward, people-focused way. Reihaneh uses person-centred ideas to follow what matters to each person. She also draws on attachment theory to look at relationship patterns and cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Sessions are built around the person's story and strengths. Reihaneh listens, helps name patterns that cause pain, and suggests practical steps to try between meetings. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes rather than quick fixes.
Her training includes a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and she has three years of professional experience. She works in English and Persian and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.
People often come with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, codependency, communication and control problems, chronic illness or caregiver stress. Reihaneh aims to create a calm space to talk these through and to plan ways forward that fit each person's life and goals.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what you say so you feel heard and understood; online sessions keep that same focus and give space to speak about what matters most. Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns, helping you spot repeating dynamics and try different ways of relating. Cognitive-behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural experiments to change how you feel and act.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas to use, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. This means the plan can change over time if a different way of working feels more helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. It can be easier to keep regular meetings around work or caring responsibilities. Please confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
