Zeinab Moghnieh, BACP

Zeinab Moghnieh is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing midlife change, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She offers a calm space to talk about difficult feelings, confusing decisions and life shifts. Sessions are aimed at understanding how thoughts and patterns affect everyday life and wellbeing.

Zeinab works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She listens with empathy and aims to make people feel safe and not judged. The approach is flexible so work moves at each person's pace rather than following a rigid plan.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. She trained in psychodynamic and humanistic approaches and has used cognitive behavioural techniques during training. Zeinab is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

Before counselling, she volunteered supporting people with suicidal thoughts and older adults experiencing loneliness. She also worked as a Mental Health Recovery Worker, supporting vulnerable adults in daily life. These roles shaped her focus on practical care and steady support.

In sessions, Zeinab helps people trace patterns such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency and guilt. She also supports those dealing with body image issues, immigration stress, caregiver strain and recovery after abuse. The aim is to increase self-awareness and help people make choices that fit their values.

How Zeinab’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers active listening and empathy so clients can name worries, values and choices. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationships and finding direction during life transitions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present patterns. It encourages noticing recurring feelings and reactions and links these to current relationship and self-image issues. This can be useful for attachment problems, abandonment fears and deeper emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is often part of the early sessions. Zeinab will work together with each person to decide what methods feel most helpful. The aim is to match tools to the client's goals and preferences rather than using a fixed plan.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around daily life and reducing travel time. Some people find shorter check-ins easier during a busy day, while others prefer fuller sessions that allow more exploration. The available session formats should be confirmed before booking so clients know what to expect for scheduling and practical arrangements.
