About Zhakirah

Zhakirah Bibi helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem and career or coaching issues. She works in a client-centred way and uses cognitive behavioural techniques, attachment ideas and mindfulness in sessions. Zhakirah holds NCPS and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She offers practical, down-to-earth counselling and coaching. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday strategies. Conversations include checking how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and trying small experiments to test new ways of coping.

Zhakirah draws on attachment-informed work to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds can shape current reactions. She uses client-centred methods to keep sessions collaborative and paced to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build alternative responses.

Mindfulness practices may be introduced to support emotion regulation and reduce stress. These are short, practical exercises that can be used between sessions as well as during them. The overall aim is to increase self-awareness and practical coping skills.

She has experience supporting people with grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, eating and intimacy-related issues, career change, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Zhakirah also works with multicultural concerns, attachment issues, panic and post-traumatic stress related difficulties.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds can affect current responses. In practice this means discussing repeated relationship dynamics and working on new ways of relating that feel safer and more manageable.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a collaborative conversation. The counsellor follows the person’s pace, listens without directing, and helps people find their own solutions to problems such as self-esteem, career choices or parenting strain.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often involve setting small tasks between meetings and testing new coping strategies to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and agree which methods to try first. This helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when travel is difficult. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for shorter check-ins, regular weekly work or continuing support during life changes.
