About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and difficulties in relationships.
She has experience working in both agency settings and independent practice. That variety means she has seen many different concerns and life situations. She uses different ways of working to match what each person needs rather than a single fixed method.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on what helps a person make practical changes. Conversations may look at patterns in relationships, how thoughts affect mood, and small steps that build confidence. Mindfulness exercises and emotional reflection are used when they suit the person's goals.
Zhanna holds NCPS as a professional credential. She offers therapy in English and Russian and works with people across a range of challenges including addictions, parenting strain, sleep problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She provides appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Sessions are offered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist's availability.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement, helps the person find their own solutions and supports self-directed change. This approach can be helpful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through depression or low self-esteem.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match what the person wants and needs. Decisions about pacing, techniques and focus are made collaboratively as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let the person see facial cues and use a more conversational style. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing their thoughts. These choices make it easier to maintain regular contact and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
