About Zoleikha
Dr. Zoleikha Gholizadeh is a NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 19 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and ADHD. She speaks English, Azerbaijani and Persian and accepts international clients.
Dr Gholizadeh meets people who are facing strong emotional pressure and persistent worry. She helps people talk through upsetting memories, intense moods and difficulties managing anger. Sessions address everyday problems as well as concerns such as obsessive or impulsive behaviours and panic attacks.
Her approach is built around evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. In sessions she works with clients to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. She then practises practical strategies with clients to change those patterns and to try new ways of coping.
She also supports people dealing with life events that interact with mental health, including fertility and cancer-related stresses, postpartum depression, and isolation or cultural adjustment. Work with obsessive-compulsive symptoms, phobias and mood disorders is included in her practice.
Language support in English, Azerbaijani and Persian is available, and international clients can be seen. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their circumstances.
To begin, clients typically complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
Sheet 2
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
She works using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on recognising and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour. For example, a cognitive approach involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-world evidence to reduce worry and low mood. Behavioural strategies help people practise new responses to triggers, which can reduce avoidance and panic symptoms.Another common element is trauma-focused work that helps people process distressing memories in smaller steps and learn skills to manage strong emotions. This approach can help with post-traumatic stress, abuse-related distress and intense emotional reactions such as anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree on methods together based on the client’s goals, symptoms and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and permit shorter check-ins when schedules demand. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are clarified at first contact.
