Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh, NCPS

Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a UK-based counsellor with 19 years of professional experience. She holds the NCPS credential and offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger and trauma. She encourages honest conversation about thoughts and everyday habits to help people find clearer ways forward.

She aims to make the therapy room a non-judgemental place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going and trying small changes that fit daily life. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than labels.

Her background spans nearly two decades of client work across a range of concerns, including ADHD, panic and mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and post-traumatic stress. She also engages with issues linked to fertility, cancer, isolation, guilt and shame, and multicultural concerns. This breadth informs a flexible, person-centred way of working.

In sessions she listens for the patterns that affect mood and behaviour, then collaborates on manageable strategies. That might mean changing unhelpful thinking, creating new daily routines, or practising ways to lessen panic and overwhelm. Progress is tracked in simple, practical steps.

Dr. Gholizadeh works in English, Azerbaijani and Persian and accepts international clients. If you want to begin, you can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques shape online therapy

Dr. Gholizadeh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on thoughts and everyday habits to help reduce distress and improve routine functioning. One common approach aims to identify and gently change unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood, helping people respond differently to difficult moments. Another approach concentrates on breaking down daily routines into manageable steps to reduce overwhelm, build steadier habits and ease impulsivity or obsessive behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adapt the plan over time so it makes sense in everyday life.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access support across different locations and in the language they prefer.
