About Zoleikha
Dr Zoleikha Gholizadeh is registered as NCPS and has 19 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English, Azerbaijani and Persian, and international clients can be seen.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice helping people describe and manage strong emotions. She focuses on practical steps to reduce repeated outbursts, rolling tension, and the wear that stress and low mood cause. Conversations are straightforward and centred on what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
Dr Gholizadeh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, panic and post-traumatic responses. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, and mood swings, and she can help when fertility, cancer or postpartum concerns add extra strain.
Her style is direct and calm. Sessions aim to identify patterns, test manageable changes, and build small habits that cut through reactivity. There is time for talking, practical exercises and reflections between meetings.
People who come for help with control issues, guilt, hoarding, jealousy or isolation will find an approach that looks at both thinking patterns and daily routines. If worry about impulsivity or anger is getting in the way of work or relationships, she helps clients find clearer responses and steadier days.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Dr Gholizadeh uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing how people think and act when stress or anger rises. Cognitive-style work looks at unhelpful thoughts and tests new, calmer ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, panic attacks and angry reactions. Behavioural and skills-based methods teach small, repeatable actions to interrupt reactivity and manage impulsivity, useful for compulsions, hoarding and control issues.She combines these methods in a collaborative way. The therapist and client review current problems, try an approach, and adapt it together if needed. Deciding which technique to use is part of the work rather than a one-time choice, and clients help shape the plan based on their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. A shorter, phone-style conversation can work when bandwidth is limited, while a video meeting supports exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. These practical choices are discussed at first contact to match the session type to everyday routines and needs.
