More about Zara

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. My core training was in the Person Centred modality and incorporated Experiential methods, this means that I believe that each individual I support has the means within them to grow and reach their full potential. In our sessions together, I am a companion and not a director, you choose how we spend our time and what we explore together and I will follow. Having said that, there will be times where I may integrate other techniques and skills to bring greater awareness and focus to your process and experience. My role is to offer a non-judgmental and empathetic space, being my genuine self, whilst providing calm presence for you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
