Zahrasadat Saba, BACP

Zahrasadat Saba offers practical counselling for people managing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and lets clients guide the conversation. Zahrasadat works with adults from varied backgrounds and uses short or longer-term work depending on what each person needs.

Her work is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the client's pace and priorities. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help people find coping steps they can try between sessions. Sessions may include creative or practical tasks when that supports the goals you bring.

Zahrasadat has five years of experience in mental health settings and holds BACP accreditation. She has supported people with concerns such as depression, parenting stress, trauma, self-harm, relationship strain and sleep difficulties. She also addresses issues that overlap with health, like coping with cancer and pregnancy-related stress.

In sessions she aims to help people feel heard and discover their own resources. The work often combines talking, practical strategies and brief exercises in awareness or problem-solving. Zahrasadat also offers single session therapy for focused, goal-oriented meetings.

People who prefer a gentle, down-to-earth style may find her approach helpful. The tone in sessions tends to be straightforward and collaborative, with attention to what each person needs in the moment.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and decide what they want to change. DBT skills and mindfulness tools teach simple ways to manage intense emotions and reduce reactivity in stressful moments. These techniques can help with anxiety, anger and self-harm urges. Existential therapy looks at meaning and life choices and can be useful when people face big life transitions or questions about purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Zahrasadat works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and seeing what feels most useful over time, with ongoing discussion about progress and next steps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can be easier to fit into a busy week and can reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to have a short check-in or to use phone options when video is difficult. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements so sessions can fit into everyday life and support the goals you bring.
