Interested in counselling ?
Hi, I'm Zinzi,
Perhaps you're carrying something from the past, or you're in the middle of a change that's left you unsure who you are anymore. Maybe you're the one who holds it together for everyone else. Maybe you understand your patterns perfectly well, you can talk about them, you've read the books, but your body still braces, your mind still races, and something still feels stuck.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
I'm a qualified Integrative Counsellor and Trauma & Somatic Therapist, working in Croydon and online, specialising in trauma, anxiety and stress. I offer a warm, grounded, non-judgemental space where you can be truly seen and held, and where we move at your pace, never faster.
Why the body matters
Somatic work sits alongside my practice. Experience doesn't just live in our thoughts; it lives in our breath, our muscles and our nervous system. That's often why insight alone doesn't shift things. Alongside talking, we'll gently tune into what your body is holding, so that a sense of safety and steadiness can return from the inside out.
My background as a yoga teacher and massage therapist means I bring a genuinely holistic lens to our work. I draw on somatic and nervous system approaches, person-centred and psychodynamic therapy, a touch of CBT and parts work (IFS), and I tailor it to you, never one-size-fits-all.
Ways to work with me
Ongoing therapy (50 minutes). Open-ended weekly or fortnightly sessions for deeper, longer-term work.
Anchor sessions (30 minutes). Shorter sessions to check in, regulate and stay grounded between bigger pieces of work, or when a full session feels like too much.
The Inquiry. Six weeks. One question. The space to really look at it. A contained process of six 90-minute sessions for anyone with something specific to explore: identity, purpose, a life transition, or simply understanding yourself more clearly. It has a clear beginning, a focused middle and a proper ending, so you leave with more clarity than you arrived with and something to carry forward.
Not sure where to start?
That's completely okay. Reaching out is often the hardest part.
Book a free 15-minute call and we'll see whether working together feels right for you.
How to begin to the process?
Step one: I offer a free 20 min online meet and greet, this gives us both the opportunity to see if were a good fit.
Step two: If you decide to take the next step we will have our first session which will be an assessment session.
Step three: We select a time, day and location that works and we will start working together. I offer both short term and long term work.
