Zhanna Murphy

Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has worked in agency settings and in private practice. Zhanna helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports clients dealing with grief, trauma from childhood, difficulties with emotional regulation and motivation.

Her background combines work across different environments, so she is used to seeing a range of life stories and practical problems. Zhanna uses an integrative style that borrows from several approaches. This means she aims to adapt what happens in sessions to what each person needs and finds most useful.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps clients name what’s causing pain or getting in the way. From there she offers simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns and to improve day-to-day coping. She uses tools drawn from attachment-based, cognitive and mindfulness approaches when they fit the issue at hand.

Sessions are carried out in English and Russian. She is registered as NCPS. For people worried about starting therapy, Zhanna keeps a straightforward, calm approach and focuses on small changes that add up over time.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeated relationship conflicts by exploring those patterns and building awareness of needs.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. This approach helps people feel understood and helps them find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or life changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the person. If something does not fit, adjustments are made together rather than sticking to one set plan.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to use short check-ins when a full session is not possible.
