What Clients Say About Me...

“I felt understood at a time when I was really struggling.”

“I never felt judged. I could be honest about my addiction without feeling ashamed.”

“I had tried counselling before, but this felt different. It was practical, down to earth and about me.”

“I began to understand that food was something I could control when everything else in my life felt overwhelming.”

“She came up with ideas I would never have thought of, but somehow they were exactly right for me.”

“I didn't think I'd be able to talk about what happened. I never felt pushed and eventually I could.”

“I was grieving and didn't need someone telling me how I should feel. Zena just got that.”

“She actually listened to what I was saying and suggested things that fitted me, rather than giving me a standard answer.”

“I arrived feeling completely overwhelmed. Sometimes we even managed to laugh, which I really needed.”

“For the first time I could talk openly about my OCD without worrying that someone would think I was strange.”

“Counselling helped me stop seeing everything that was different about me as something that needed fixing.”

“Zena is very human. Warm, straightforward and practical, but she also made me think about things in ways I hadn't before.”

“I was frightened about what lay ahead. Our conversations helped me find a way of living with the things I couldn't change.”

As a parent, I finally had somewhere I could say how scared and helpless I felt, and leave with some practical ideas too.

We had got stuck having the same arguments over and over. Zena helped us really hear each other again, understand and work through the thoughts, feelings and frustrations that were sitting underneath them.
