About Zhanna
Zhanna Murphy is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in agency settings and in independent practice, supporting people who bring a wide range of concerns. She speaks English and Russian and uses several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs.
Zhanna helps people with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing depression, grief and difficulties with emotion regulation.
Background and approach
Relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and addiction concerns are also areas she addresses in conversation. Her work draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working, alongside cognitive behavioural and mindfulness techniques when useful. That means sessions often focus on understanding feelings, improving how people connect with others, and trying small changes between meetings.
In practice Zhanna listens first and then suggests simple steps to try. Sessions can include talking, noticing patterns in feelings and behaviour, and practising new ways of responding. She adapts the approach to what each person finds most helpful.
People meet with her online by video or phone, or by live chat and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client and the counsellor. The counsellor works with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
How Zhanna’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with the emotions that shape close relationships and personal distress. Online sessions often focus on recognising emotions, naming what matters, and practising new ways of responding to others and to oneself.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current patterns of relating. In online meetings the counsellor and client explore those patterns, trace how they show up now, and try different ways of getting needs met and feeling safer in relationships.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. Sessions emphasise listening, acceptance and reflecting back what is felt, so people can find their own pace and direction for change.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Zhanna works collaboratively to find what fits a person’s goals and preferences, adjusting methods as trust and clarity grow.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments.
