Zhanna Murphy, NCPS

Zhanna Murphy is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people from diverse backgrounds through a range of emotional and relational challenges. She has worked in both agency and private practice settings, offering help for stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, motivation and self-esteem concerns, depression and grief, emotional regulation struggles, and childhood trauma. Her practice also includes work with issues such as sleep problems, addiction, caregiver stress, and family conflict.

Trained in an integrative approach, Zhanna adapts methods to suit each client's needs rather than relying on a single technique. She draws on a mix of relational and evidence-informed methods, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy, tailoring interventions to individual goals and circumstances. Zhanna holds the NCPS credential - a professional credential that reflects clinical training and practice - and provides therapy in English and Russian. Her style emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and building stronger emotional understanding to help clients navigate change and restore a sense of balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online support tailored to you

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, grief, or patterns that affect close relationships by exploring relational needs and building more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach supports self-esteem, motivation, and emotional regulation by helping clients clarify values and develop their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes, helping clients develop tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Zhanna Murphy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts techniques as progress unfolds, inviting regular feedback to ensure the work remains relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic journey.
