About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has worked in agency settings and in private practice. Zhanna helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem, depression, grief and anger.
Her practice often includes difficulties with emotional regulation and childhood trauma. She also supports people struggling with motivation, confidence and intimacy-related issues. Addictions and coping with life changes are within her usual areas of work.
Zhanna uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another strand she brings in to help people understand and shift painful emotional cycles. Mindfulness strategies are used to build calmer attention and reduce reactivity in heated moments. The overall aim is practical: to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
She works in English and Russian. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Zhanna commonly uses attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioural techniques when working with clients. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions and can help with anger, trust and relational issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours to reduce stress and reactivity. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to identify recurring emotional cycles and mindfulness practices to build steadier attention. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what they do together until something feels useful. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can save travel time, make it easier to schedule short check-ins, or allow work to happen during a lunch break. If video is difficult, alternatives such as audio-only sessions can reduce bandwidth needs or make it easier to focus without being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, typically adjust the way they run sessions to suit everyday routines and practical constraints.Areas of focus
