About
I help people who are stuck, in their heads or in undigested emotions, or in difficult life circumstances, relationships and families. I teach that the only person you can change is yourself, but when you do, the ripple effect is massive. Be the change you want to see, never mind what trauma has led to your anxiety, depression etc. We're all addicts: we all have devoted habits or coping mechanisms. After a while these harm us. Find another way. I use a Transpersonal approach because it's v effective. This means I remind you you are connected to something greater than yourself, however you define that - and how to employ that daily.
I'm a compassionate but pro-active therapist who will provide you with tools to practice. I'm into Recovery from Life and a consciousness-based, mindfulness way of operating. I don't bite. As Dr Zizz, I write picture books for children and adults to inspire them, through my publishing company Handmade Life. See pics below; more info on my website.
Since Covid, many clients meet me online for the first time either through video or voice calls and it works beautifully, very effective. I do have long-standing relationships with clients but generally we get results pretty quickly :) Alternatively see my colleague at Change Matters in person. She trained me and we have been in practice together since 2009.
