ZLG Counselling

A welcoming, supportive and therapeutic environment, without judgement.

Thank you for visiting ZLG Counselling.

Thank you for visiting my website. I understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're unsure where to start in finding the right therapist. I hope that my website will answer some of your questions and give you a sense of the type of counsellor I am.

At the heart of my practice is warmth, compassion, honesty, and empowerment. I genuinely believe in your ability to overcome challenges, and my goal is to provide a space where you can be your authentic self—free from judgment or criticism. Our sessions are confidential, and I am here to offer support and guidance as we work through the issues that matter most to you. Whether your challenges feel big or small, if they are important to you, they are important to me. Your story matters.

I am a humanistic counsellor with an integrative approach. This means I draw on various therapeutic methods to tailor each session to meet your unique needs. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling Society and follow their ethical framework to ensure the highest standards of care and professionalism.

Your story matters.

Your voice, your experiences, your thoughts, and your feelings are important. Most importantly, YOU matter.

I understand that reaching out for support with your mental health and well-being can feel difficult, and knowing where to begin can be overwhelming.

As your therapist, I recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counselling. Your experiences and struggles are unique, and together we can work at a pace that feels right for you. This will allow us to address the root causes of the challenges you're facing. Anything that has been weighing you down can be explored and worked through, and I will be here to support you every step of the way.

Person Centred therapy can help you realise what resources you have to work through your issues which will help you build your self esteem and your confidence. This therapy can help with most issues including anxiety, depression, phobias, stress ,self esteem.

Gestalt Therapy

This is a type of therapy that focuses on the here and now and how that can be explored to help you. Gestalt is based on the principle that everyone is whole - made up of mind, body and soul. It emphasises that to fully understand people you have to look at their current situation as they experience it. This may involve in focuses on where you feel certain emotions in your body to understand the underlying emotional experiences. This therapy is interactive and feedback driven. Gestalt can help most issues, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem and relationship problems.

Transactional Analysis

An psychoanalytical approach that helps us understand why we think, feel and behave in the way we do. Anyone who wants to explore how their individual personality has been shaped by their experiences could benefit from this type of therapy. It can help you improve how you communicate, break damaging repetitive patterns of behaviour, effectively resolve conflict, confusion and tension within relationships with family, friends, colleagues and partners. It can help us understand our past experiences and explore and reflect on childhood experiences. This is a suitable approach for solution focused therapy.
