About Zhanna

NCPS. 4 years of professional experience. Zhanna Murphy works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Russian. She has worked in agencies and in private practice, helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation and self-esteem concerns.

Zhanna also works with depression, grief, problems with emotional regulation and childhood trauma. She lists addictions, compassion fatigue, sleeping problems, intimacy-related issues and parenting among the areas she supports. Additional focuses include attachment issues, body image, codependency and the effects of chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Her described approach is integrative. That means she draws on several established methods and adapts them to what a person finds useful. Her practice includes client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and emotion-focused techniques.

Sessions aim to be practical and conversational. Counselling can include looking at patterns in relationships, learning ways to manage anxious or low mood, and practising simple mindfulness or thought‑management strategies. She says the work is shaped by what each person brings to sessions.

Zhanna has four years of clinical work behind her and experience across different service settings. She asks people to use the site process to match and book a first appointment, and she notes that costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

People considering counselling with her are advised to confirm current session formats before booking through the platform.

Online counselling approaches and practical arrangements

Zhanna uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as core tools. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify feelings and goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change them.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas, which consider how early relationship patterns can affect current connections and emotional responses. These approaches can help with anxiety, relationship problems, grief and emotional regulation by offering both understanding and skills practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zhanna intends to discuss methods with each person and agree what to try based on their needs and preferences. That way the plan can change if something is not helping.

The site notes that costs use a subscription model and that session formats should be confirmed before booking. Please check the platform booking steps for which session types she currently offers so you can pick times that fit around work, childcare or other commitments.
