About Zhakirah
Zhakirah Bibi helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. She also supports clients with career and executive coaching, grief, parenting strain and trauma and abuse. Zhakirah works with issues around ADHD, LGBT concerns, eating difficulties, intimacy and coping with life changes.
She communicates in English and provides services from the United Kingdom. Zhakirah creates a relaxed atmosphere where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.
How Zhakirah works
She aims to remove shame and blame so clients can consider change at their own pace. The first meetings focus on listening and understanding what matters most to the client. Her style draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice, which both prioritise the relationship in therapy.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce stress and return attention to the present moment. Zhakirah holds NCPS as a credential and brings six years of professional experience.
She frames sessions around practical steps and short-term goals when that fits the person’s needs. People may also work on longer-term patterns such as attachment or trauma responses. Sessions can include conversational work, practical exercises and simple homework to try between meetings.
Zhakirah encourages feedback so the pace and focus can be adjusted. She supports clients who want both emotional processing and concrete plans for change.

Online support options
How her approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and feeling safe. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and try different responses in real time. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre and offers a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Zhakirah will work together with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed over time and changed if something else would work better.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those with busy or shifting schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and gentle interaction, phone sessions can be quicker to arrange and need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
