Dr Zineb Belouadah, Clinical Psychologist
Zineb works with children, young people, and adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. She supports clients with challenges including anxiety, low mood, stress and burnout, self-criticism, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship and family issues, neurodivergence, and the psychological impact of physical health conditions and major life changes.
Zineb takes a warm, collaborative, and personalised approach to therapy. She believes that meaningful change comes from developing a shared understanding of a person's experiences, strengths, and challenges, creating a therapeutic space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Her clinical work is informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and systemic approaches, while also drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and narrative approaches to meet each individual's unique needs and goals.
She is particularly interested in understanding the whole person, rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Her work considers the influence of relationships, family dynamics, culture, identity, spirituality, physical health, and wider life circumstances, helping clients make sense of their experiences within the broader context of their lives.
When working with children and neurodivergent clients, Zineb adapts her approach to fit the individual. This may involve using visual tools, incorporating personal interests into sessions, or working at a pace that feels comfortable and accessible. Her aim is to ensure that therapy feels engaging, practical, and genuinely relevant to each person she works with.
Zineb is also fluent in Arabic.
