Zahrasadat Saba, BACP

Zahrasadat Saba is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing midlife questions and other life changes. She works in a client-centred way, following what each person brings and helping them find clearer steps forward. Zahrasadat uses a mix of short-term and longer-term work and may offer a single session when that fits someone’s needs.

Her background includes five years in the mental health field and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with adults from many backgrounds on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression and coping with grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma, self-harm and challenges around self-esteem and identity.

In sessions she prioritises a non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and start to rebuild confidence. Practical tools and creative methods are used when helpful, and the pace is set by the client. The focus is often on making manageable changes and building day-to-day skills.

When someone is facing midlife decisions or changes, she helps them name the core concerns and weigh practical options. Zahrasadat pays attention to how past family experiences and cultural background shape feelings now. She blends talking and active coping strategies to address immediate problems and longer standing patterns.

Sessions are offered in English and Persian. People who wish to begin are invited to follow the site process to match with her and book a suitable time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experience, giving them space to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports their self-understanding. It helps when someone needs to make sense of a life transition or midlife rethink.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. It can be useful for stress, self-harm urges and when people want concrete tools to handle intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what matters to the client and try options that match their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs become clearer.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera depending on the format agreed. Many people find this flexibility helps them maintain steady progress alongside everyday commitments.
