Feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or like something’s missing? You may be living with ADHD, anxiety, depression, or navigating grief and life transitions. These challenges can affect focus, sleep, relationships, and sense of self. Together, in a calm, person-centred space, we explore your experiences, uncover strengths, and build confidence so you feel more grounded, connected, and able to move forward.
I’m Zara, a Manchester City Centre therapist with face-to-face Saturday slots and online/phone sessions weekdays. I specialise in ADHD, anxiety, depression, and identity or life transitions. My main approach is person-centred, and I integrate CBT techniques when helpful to support clarity and coping.
In therapy with me, you’ll find a supportive, person-centred space to slow down, be heard, and make sense of your experiences. Clients often leave feeling lighter, more focused, and able to move forward. If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, you can book a free 15-minute intro conversation.
