Hi, I am Zanda. I have over several years' experience of working as a counsellor with adults, children and young people enabling clients to overcome a wide range of challenges. I am registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).  I adhere to the BACP ethical framework, following principles and values for good practice along with holding my own insurance.

I am based in Staffordshire, provide counselling sessions online, via phone and face to face in the Cannock Chase area at the Pye Green Community Centre. 

As you see on photos like this one at the side that's me and handsome German Shepherd Bert (bias I know), who your see throughout my page and other social media accounts.

In my free time, I enjoy taking Bert out for a walk exploring the beautiful nature. Tending to my garden and growing different plants, fruit and vegetables,  it's a hobby I have I found to be very rewarding and satisfying. I love to travel discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. I value spending quality time with family and friends creating memories and enjoying life's simple pleasures. All of which help me relax and recharge. 

Over the years I have faced personal challenges that have shaped my life in ways I never expected but also have strengthened my resilience and determination. These challenges have sometimes lead to uncertainty and setbacks along with teaching me the importance of adaptability and maintaining a positive outlook even during difficult times. Not to say that it's easy but with support, openness and strength life can improve. 

I am very passionate about counselling and have always been in supportive roles having worked as a support worker with children and young people in supported living, adults with mental health in supported living, a contact officer for children in care, life skills coach and project worker in mental health services. 

I have experience of working in a variety of settings within the NHS Talking Therapies, MIND, bereavement services, Employment Assistant Programmes (EAP), sexual violence and abuse services as a counsellor working with adults, children and young people.

I look forward to hearing from you.
