Approach to CBT Therapy

Zain’s approach to Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT ) is collaborative and client-centred, believing in creating a safe and supportive space for each individual to explore their difficulties and develop healthier coping strategies.

Throughout therapy, Zain works collaboratively with each client to ensure that they are getting the most out of their sessions, providing CBT techniques, tools, and understanding to feel better and stay well for longer.

With her experience working with occupational health departments, Zain has particular expertise in helping clients with issues in their working life and jobs, whether it is to do with OCD, stress, low self-esteem, a career transition, or conflict within the workplace.
