Dr Gholizadeh has worked across a wide range of concerns including postpartum depression, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and multicultural issues.

People who prefer clear practical steps and a patient, respectful presence may find this approach helpful. Those who want to discuss perinatal concerns such as pregnancy and childbirth related feelings can raise these topics in sessions.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

This counsellor draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find clearer ways of coping. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new thoughts and behaviours in daily life; this helps with anxiety, panic and low mood. Another approach emphasises gradual exposure to feared situations or images and building tolerance step by step; it can be useful for phobias, panic and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The counsellor will talk through options, try techniques that match your goals, and adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people feel more confident about which tools suit them best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family life, or helpful when they prefer not to travel. Online work can make brief check-ins simpler, reduce time spent commuting, and allow more consistent contact during challenging periods. Talk through practical preferences at the first meeting so sessions can be shaped around your day-to-day needs.
