About Zoleikha
Dr Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 19 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger and depression. She also addresses concerns linked to ADHD and a range of related difficulties such as mood disorders and panic attacks.
She focuses on creating an open environment where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Sessions are practical and direct. She aims to help people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and plan small steps they can use outside sessions.
Her experience includes work with issues connected to cancer, fertility, postpartum depression and complex reactions to loss and trauma. She also supports people dealing with obsessions and compulsions, hoarding tendencies, control and impulsivity problems, and feelings of guilt, shame or isolation.
Dr Gholizadeh speaks English, Azerbaijani and Persian, which she uses in her work when helpful. She accepts international clients and practices from the UK. Costs vary with location and her sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client is asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She will then agree the practical arrangements and discuss goals in the initial meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Dr Gholizadeh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, workable changes. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday evidence, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on understanding how past traumatic events affect current reactions and teaches stabilising skills to manage distress and flashbacks.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. She will discuss the options with each person and agree which techniques suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as needs become clearer.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Remote work also helps people who live overseas connect with a UK-based counsellor without needing to travel.
