About Zeinab

Zeinab Moghnieh is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also lists codependency, attachment and abandonment issues among areas she addresses. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Zeinab uses a client-centred stance. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her and what matters most to them. She listens, reflects what she hears and helps people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour that keep causing pain or confusion.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence present reactions. This can help people who repeat the same relationship patterns or who struggle with control, guilt or shame. Discussions can cover family history, attachment habits and how early relationships shape expectations now.

Practical work can include noticing triggers, testing new ways of setting boundaries and rehearsing clearer communication. Zeinab aims to work at a pace the client can manage, offering both shorter-term focussed work and longer-term exploration. She uses what fits each person rather than a fixed formula.

Her background includes an MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton and voluntary roles supporting people with suicidal thoughts and older adults facing loneliness. She has also worked as a mental health recovery worker caring for vulnerable adults. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled first session are the next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's current experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the person name feelings and priorities. This approach can help with people-pleasing, codependency patterns and decision-making in relationships.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape present reactions. It helps people understand repeated behaviours, attachment styles and why certain situations trigger strong responses. This can be useful for issues like abandonment, control problems and persistent shame.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the way sessions proceed. That means methods may change as understanding grows, and the client helps shape what comes next.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose less visual contact if that helps them start more comfortably.
