Zhanna Murphy

Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has worked in both agency settings and private practice, helping people with a wide range of concerns. She speaks English and Russian and uses an integrative approach to tailor sessions to each person.

Her work covers common issues such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and loss. She also supports people facing depression, grief, problems with emotional regulation and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. Anger and coping with life changes are part of her regular caseload.

She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Client-Centred Therapy is used to keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Sessions are adjusted to what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Zhanna aims to help people build practical skills they can use between sessions. She also pays attention to motivation and how to keep small changes going.

People who come to her often want straightforward, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles. She works with individuals to set realistic goals and to find steps that fit day-to-day life. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence how people relate now. Online sessions can use this approach to spot patterns in relationships and to practise new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace, giving space to be heard and to make decisions in small steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours between sessions to test what helps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters to the client, and suggest a plan that fits goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and allow flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
