About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi, NCPS, has six years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, motivation and professional coaching needs. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and identity-related issues.
Zhakirah uses clear, practical methods to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and early connections affect current relationships.
Sessions focus on concrete steps. Clients notice thoughts and habits, try small changes, and review what works. Mindfulness exercises are used to reduce reactivity and build noticing skills when that fits the work together.
She describes her style as client-centred, which means conversations begin with the person in front of her. People set goals and move at a pace that suits their circumstances. Zhakirah aims to keep things direct and practical rather than abstract.
Her background includes supporting people with panic attacks, ADHD concerns, social anxiety and career transitions. She also works with multicultural issues, caregiver stress and separation or divorce matters. These focus areas guide how she frames plans and interventions.
When someone wants to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Zhakirah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change small behaviours. CBT sessions often include thought records, behavioural experiments and clear homework tasks to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections; online conversations can map these patterns and plan different responses to recurring relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as goals shift or new issues emerge.
Confirm the actual session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only options if they prefer less screen time, or schedule sessions at times that suit their daily routine. Registered or accredited professionals adapt sessions to what each person can manage.
