About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. She supports work on self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and offers coaching for professional and executive situations. Zhakirah aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about what matters to them.
She draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-based methods look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes.
Her practice is informed by six years' experience working with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures and career transitions. She also supports those coping with ADHD, eating issues, intimacy concerns and compassion fatigue. Zhakirah pays attention to cultural context and complex stresses such as caregiver burden or divorce and separation.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Expect clear conversation, gentle reflection and practical steps you can try between meetings. The focus is on what will help in daily life, whether that means learning new coping skills, improving relationships, or planning next career moves.
Clients can work through attachment difficulties, panic or social anxiety, and explore issues like guilt, shame or forgiveness. Zhakirah uses plain language and a calm approach to make talking easier for people at different stages of change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics in close connections. It can be useful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and relationship stress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers empathic listening and helps people find their own solutions, which suits clients wanting a supportive space to think things through.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Because the original profile does not specify session formats, please confirm current options before booking.
