Zahrasadat Saba, BACP

Zahrasadat Saba is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of experience supporting adults from diverse backgrounds. She practices in a client-centered way, following the client’s lead to explore concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and self-harm, while also addressing issues like relationship difficulties, addiction, career concerns, and identity matters. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she combines professional training with a warm, nonjudgmental attitude to help people reconnect with their authentic selves and build practical coping strategies.

Zahrasadat offers both short-term and longer-term work and can tailor sessions to the needs of the individual, including single-session therapy when appropriate. Her approach draws on client-centered principles alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques, using creative and practical methods guided by the nature of the work they do together. She supports people through life transitions, trauma recovery, parenting strains, and difficulties with self-esteem, aiming to empower clients to make meaningful changes.

Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and Zahrasadat seeks to create an empowering space where exploration and gradual growth are honoured at the client’s pace.

Approaches for online therapeutic work

Zahrasadat Saba commonly draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness and solution-focused approaches to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore their concerns and values. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness practices and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and help manage stress, anxiety, and symptoms linked to trauma. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths, clarifying practical goals, and building step-by-step strategies to move toward meaningful change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Zahrasadat works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences. This means approaches can be adapted over time as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Zahrasadat can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options help make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints while still allowing regular, consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists who can support progress.
