About Zhanna

Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also addresses relationship strain, problems with self-esteem and struggles around motivation and intimacy.

Her background includes time in both agency settings and independent practice. That variety means she has listened to many different stories and practical problems. She has helped people through grief, emotional regulation difficulties and issues linked to childhood trauma.

Background and approach

Zhanna uses a flexible, client-centred way of working. She adapts methods to suit each individual rather than applying one fixed model. Sessions focus on what the person needs right now and on small, workable steps forward.

Her approach draws on trauma-focused ideas and attachment-based thinking alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Conversations are aimed at making sense of patterns, building coping skills and improving everyday functioning. She also uses emotionally focused strategies to strengthen emotional awareness.

Zhanna offers sessions in English and Russian. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including addictions, family strain, chronic health worries, anger and coping with life changes. People who want a straightforward, practical space to work through difficult feelings may find her style helpful.

Ways of working Zhanna names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Zhanna commonly uses trauma-focused ideas and attachment-based work alongside client-centred practice. Trauma-focused work concentrates on understanding how past hurt affects current reactions and on building skills to manage difficult memories or triggers. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change unhelpful ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person’s own goals and pace, with the counsellor following the client’s lead.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Zhanna will discuss options together in early sessions and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. The aim is a collaborative plan that feels practical and realistic rather than a rigid protocol.

Online therapy can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need more flexible timing. These formats make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
