Hi, I'm Zina and my practice is called Another View Counselling. I have been doing this for a little while now and I can honestly say it never ceases to amaze me how counselling can really help you to feel listened to and more importantly understood. 

It could be you are feeling overwhelmed with something or are struggling with certain issues like anxiety, depression or feeling confused and as your counsellor, this is where I can help. I will provide a safe space for you to explore what it is that you are struggling with. I will listen to you with empathy and you can share your thoughts knowing there will be no judgement. I will provide a safe environment and an opportunity for you to release those emotions and feelings you may be finding difficult to process.

I have worked and continue to work in bereavement, loss and trauma so, if you are experiencing any kind of issues please feel free to get in touch with me, as I can help you to process the feelings you may be experiencing. 

Through counselling, you can begin to understand those feelings that keep resurfacing. Perhaps it could be something that happened to you in the past. Or it could even be something you want to achieve in the future and you are just holding back or are unsure about. Counselling can help you understand yourself and your behaviours on a more profound level and as you develop your self-awareness your challenges can become clearer.

Discovering what is important for us occasionally gets forgotten as we can all have a tendency to people please and lose sight of what we are actually striving for. This is very common, but discovering our true-self can unlock emotions of feeling stuck and potentially lead us living a happier life filled with more positive relationships.  

My aim is to help you find that self-compassion when high expectations and high standards have been either placed on you or adopted by you. I believe that empowering you will help you to ultimately make the right decisions for yourself. 

At Another View Counselling you will be treated with kindness, due care and respect. My practice abides by the ethical framework of the BACP and I offer sessions to best suit you, either via face to face, online over Zoom or via the telephone. My therapy room is based in Hoddesdon and has ample parking for you. 

Counselling doesn't have to be a daunting experience. I understand that you may feel nervous at first. However, with the right environment and my therapeutic holistic approach, I beleive we can work at a pace that is right for you so you can resolve the emotional conflict you may be experiencing. 

Client testimonial

"I am extremely grateful for all the help that Zina has provided, from listening attentively to responding in a caring manner. I feel that with her help I am now better able to cope with my feelings of grief and loss.

I would not hesitate to recommend anyone who is in a similar situation as myself to Zina for counselling."  DH

With Another View Counselling you are not obliged to sign up for sessions if you feel I may not be the right counsellor for you. This is why our initial 10 minute telephone call will be free. 

I want you to feel comfortable that you have made the right choice in choosing me as your counsellor. Likewise, if I feel I am not the right counsellor for you, it would be unethical of me not to tell you when we have our initial session. If this is the case, I will endeavour to refer you on to someone who is more suitable for you. 

In our first session, we will try to get to know each other and it will also give me the opportunity to assess your therapeutic needs. There will be a simple form to fill beforehand but this can also be completed within the session.  

It is absolutely normal to feel apprehensive when seeking counselling. However, I do believe that making that first step can be the most hardest to make. 

Our sessions don't have to be long-term, they can be short-term too. I will be simply guided by what is right for you.
