I qualified as a Counsellor in 2010 and have been working privately with adults ever since. I have always been interested in people – our motivations, passions and difficulties. I believe that effective counselling takes account of the whole person, as mind, body and emotions and beliefs are interconnected. Therefore,although most sessions will generally involve us talking together, we may sometimes also focus on breathing or posture or maybe explore some creative approach such as visualisation, drawing, using objects, etc; whatever helps you to understand more about yourself and/or enables you to cope better during challenging times.

I have experience of helping adults with a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, etc. I am also an Antenatal Teacher and Hypnobirthing Practitioner with many years’ experience of working with new parents, so I naturally have an additional special interest in working with people who want some help around pregnancy, birth or adjusting to parenthood, whether now or in the past. In addition to Counselling I offer 2-day Hypnobirthing courses, private tailored antenatal classes and weekly Pregnancy Relaxation Hour sessions at the New Forest Birth Centre. If you’re pregnant, a variety of approaches can be helpful.

If you would like to find out more about me and whether I may be able to help you, please have a look round my website (www.CounsellingWithZana.co.uk) and feel free to email me for more information. I look forward to hearing from you.
