About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She draws on a practical mix of approaches to help people find clearer ways to cope. Sessions are offered in English and Persian and Reihaneh practices from the United Kingdom.
Reihaneh has three years of clinical experience and holds a BACP registration, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She views each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
In sessions she aims for warmth, steady attention and straightforward conversation rather than clinical distance. Her approach blends person-centred listening with ideas from attachment theory and cognitive-behavioural techniques. That means she listens for personal meaning, notices patterns in relationships, and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable. Reihaneh also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, chronic pain or illness, communication problems and separation. She will adapt focus depending on what a person brings and what they want to change.
Sessions typically aim to make things more manageable week to week. Reihaneh encourages small experiments and practical steps alongside reflection on past experiences. She welcomes people who want a calm, thoughtful counsellor to help them move forward.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters most, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful for day-to-day change.
Online therapy offers practical benefits through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets conversations feel closer to face-to-face. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, written reflection, and flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to work on goals from different places and times.
