About Reihaneh
Reihaneh Sabzalian helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She introduces a calm, steady presence in sessions and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful. Reihaneh works in English and Persian and practises from the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and person-focused. She treats the person rather than a label and encourages clients to lead where they feel most stuck.
Background and approach
Conversations look at what matters now and what practical steps might make life easier between sessions. Reihaneh blends several approaches to suit each person. She uses person-centred ideas to build a trusting space, draws on attachment insights to understand relationship patterns, and applies cognitive-behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
These methods are used together depending on what the client needs. Her background includes a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and three years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP.
That combination shapes a grounded, straightforward way of working. Therapy sessions focus on helping people notice strengths, try new responses to old problems, and practise changes that fit daily life. Reihaneh aims to support clients as they set realistic goals and take steps toward them.
