About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor with four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She has worked both in agency settings and in private practice, meeting people with a wide range of concerns. Zhanna speaks English and Russian and aims to make therapy straightforward and accessible.
She helps people who are coping with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and motivation problems. She also supports those dealing with depression, grief, childhood trauma, anger and problems with emotional regulation. Money and financial issues are listed among the concerns she addresses.
Zhanna uses an adaptable, integrative way of working that draws on several approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is most useful for the individual rather than following a fixed formula. She aims to create clear, practical steps alongside space to understand feelings.
In sessions she may help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, notice emotional triggers and try small behavioural changes. She can also work on building communication skills and repairing connection when relationships feel strained. For people worn down by caregiving, work pressure or life change, she offers steady support and practical coping ideas.
Her background includes agency work and private practice, which informs a flexible clinical style. Zhanna’s NCPS credential is noted in her profile. Prospective clients should confirm session options and scheduling when they make a booking.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions, helping people explore trust, closeness and patterns that repeat in adult relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s own goals at the centre, using warm, non-judgemental listening to help someone find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which approaches to try. That collaborative planning means methods can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
If you prefer online work, check the available session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations within the same country while working with a registered or accredited professional. Confirm session scheduling and any technical details during the sign-up and booking steps to make sure the arrangements suit your routine.
