Looking for a happier, less anxious you?

I’m here to help you share your untold story.

I guide people through self discovery using open ended questions and a non judgmental approach. This encourages self trust and empowers you to make lasting changes.

Let's start uncovering your story!

I am Zaira Guerra PG Dip, MBACP an integrative counsellor with over 12 years of experience working for mental health charities and in private practice. I provide face to face and online therapy to adult individuals and couples.

If you are reading this, it is because you are thinking about therapy. Starting therapy, especially for the first time, can be scary. I want to make sure we can work well together and that you feel comfortable working with me.
