About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and panic attacks. She supports clients facing low self esteem, relationship worries, career changes and motivation challenges. She also offers coaching for professional and executive concerns and works with those coping with grief and trauma.
Zhakirah aims to make the first step easier. She creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Her approach blends talking therapies with clear, goal-focused methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect wellbeing. She also uses client-centred listening to put the person’s priorities first.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Mindfulness practices are brought in to build calm and present-moment focus when needed. These methods are explained in everyday language and applied at a pace the client can manage.
With six years of experience and the NCPS credential, she works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are discussed when someone starts. People are invited to begin the process when they feel ready.
Background and approach details can be discussed during an initial match and scheduling step. This helps make sure goals, timing and the therapist’s style are a good fit before committing to regular sessions.
How her approaches can work online
Zhakirah draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape how people cope now. This can help when anxiety, panic or low self worth relate to close relationships and trust. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will try methods that match the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people practise strategies in the settings where they need them most, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions so they suit each person's routine and goals.
