About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor registered with NCPS with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and motivation, executive and professional coaching, and other life adjustments.
Zhakirah uses practical conversation and listening to help people sort out what matters most to them. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns, try new responses and build steadier routines.
She pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions and works with clients to understand those links. That can help when someone struggles with intimacy, trust, or recurring conflict. Zhakirah also addresses grief, trauma-related stress, panic, and caregiver strain when these come up.
The approach is collaborative and direct. Clients can expect active tasks between sessions, simple behaviour experiments and practical tools to manage anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practices are offered for grounding and slowing overwhelming thoughts.
Zhakirah works with cultural and identity issues, including LGBT concerns and multicultural contexts. She also supports people dealing with career decisions, parenting stress, and young adult transitions.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work here looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use discussion and reflective exercises to map those patterns and try new interpersonal responses. Client-centred work focuses on open listening and supporting the client to lead the conversation; virtually this means sessions prioritise the client's concerns and pace.Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments. Online sessions can set clear tasks between meetings, track progress and review what changed. Mindfulness exercises are taught in short practices that clients can use day to day to reduce anxiety or rumination.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress or needs change.
The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can help fit therapy around work, study and family commitments, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
