Zahrasadat Saba offers calm, steady support for people coping with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Zahrasadat works in English and Persian and draws on five years of experience in mental health settings.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her style is client-centred, which means the person sets the pace and topics for each session.

Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help clients build small, manageable habits and get unstuck. When needed, she brings in elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and existential ideas to address deeper patterns and meaning. Zahrasadat can work short term or over longer periods depending on what someone needs.

She also offers single-session therapy for focused issues or immediate problem-solving. Sessions may involve talking, practical exercises, or simple skills practice that can be used between meetings. She has experience supporting people with trauma, self-harm, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career and midlife issues.

Zahrasadat also attends to multicultural and immigration-related concerns and women's health topics, including pregnancy and childbirth. Therapy sessions are delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. This makes it possible to choose a format that best suits a person’s routine and comfort.

To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

How Zahrasadat adapts therapy for online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens deeply, and shapes each session around what feels most important right now. This approach helps with stress, anxiety and relationship worries where personal pace matters.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm. These short exercises can be practised between sessions and suit people who want concrete tools to manage anxiety or sleep problems. Solution-focused therapy aims at quick, practical changes by identifying small steps that move a person toward their goals; it is useful for coping with life transitions, career choices or parenting challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Zahrasadat will discuss goals and preferences and together they will try methods that feel helpful. The plan can change as progress is made and as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different routines. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
