About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Zhanna also helps those coping with depression, grief and difficulties regulating strong emotions.
She has worked in both agency settings and independent practice, supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and life situations. Her caseload has included concerns such as trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy-related issues and parenting stress.
Background and approach
She also pays attention to problems like sleep disruption, anger and compassion fatigue. Zhanna uses a flexible, integrative approach that adapts to each person. That means she draws on different ways of working depending on what the person needs and how they respond.
Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps rather than on jargon or lengthy theory. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She tries to create a calm atmosphere where people can talk honestly about painful topics and begin to make changes that matter.
Zhanna speaks English and Russian, which can help when language or cultural context matters. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and goals and then picks methods that fit those aims. Over time she helps people build skills for coping, improve communication, and find more emotional balance in daily life.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the person wants to explore, which can help with low self-esteem, grief and emotional overwhelm.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and goal-focused, and often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Zhanna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That process can mean trying different techniques and adjusting them as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more practical and accessible for busy lives.
