Hi, I'm Zak. If you're looking for someone to talk to, someone apart from your friends and family, who won’t judge you for how you’re feeling, get in touch. You might need space to explore your thoughts and feelings, to make sense of your experiences and patterns. Maybe something happened to you, or maybe nothing in particular happened, but either way you feel things aren’t right. Therapy is a place to lay it all out on the table, and together we can talk about what’s going on for you.

Maybe you want to deepen your connection to yourself so that life feels richer and more rewarding and you can find a more authentic sense of yourself. Whatever your reason, I offer you a safe, empathetic and thoughtful space to explore whatever you want to bring.

I support individuals and adolescents with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and bereavement/loss.
