About Zoleikha
Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a UK-based counsellor with 19 years of professional experience listed under the NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger and depression.
She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely about their thoughts and feelings. Her work often begins by listening closely to what matters most to the client. She invites people to set goals and then works with them at a steady pace.
Background and approach
That might mean practising new ways of handling strong emotions, looking at patterns that maintain anxiety, or talking through the impact of past trauma. Dr Gholizadeh also supports people facing issues around attention and impulsivity, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and mood differences. She has further experience with concerns linked to fertility, cancer, postpartum depression and problems with control or hoarding.
Multicultural concerns and feelings of isolation or shame are among the topics she acknowledges in sessions. Her approach is practical and person-centred; she aims to empower people to make changes that suit their life. Sessions focus on what to do next rather than on labels.
Progress is discussed collaboratively so the plan can be adjusted if needed. Sessions are offered in English, Azerbaijani and Persian. International clients are accepted, and anyone interested is invited to use the service sign-up to match with her and arrange the first appointment.

How Zoleikha works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process that takes the client's goals, history and preferences into account.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and cutting down travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter, more frequent check-ins or to schedule appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available session options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
