Zia Deeks

Not able to offer Monday or Wednesday daytime counselling

I’m Zia and I’m an Accredited therapist, with a number of years experience, offering online or face to face therapy using an integrated approach with client centred/ Humanistic and CBT models at the heart of my work.

I have also undertaken training using the Internal Family Systems model of therapy which can be helpful for those who are dealing with long-term trauma.  I also engage Polyvagal theory to help clients engage with recovery from anxiety and fear.

I work with a range of issues but have a particular interest in grief, trauma and depression.  I believe that it is important to bring therapy to the whole client - body, mind and spirit.  With this in mind, I am able to explore with clients the impact of diet, exercise and sleep on mental health challenges.

As a person of faith, I also offer Christian counselling for those who would like their faith to be part of their therapy.  

Working in private practice I offer a safe space to share and find emotional healing from life’s knocks.  I work offering face to face therapy or on-line therapy.  Sometimes we all need to find that space where we can talk and process without fear of judgement. I offer therapy to adults and over 14's in a safe warm environment.  

The first session lasts around a hour and is all about us getting to know each other, talk about what your hopes are for therapy and what style of therapy might suit you best.   It is important to me that you find that safe space where you can talk about anything you want to.  Finding a therapist you can connect with is the key to your success.   There is no set length of time for therapy but as we explore your hopes further we can consider how long the work might last for.  There is no obligation to commit to a certain length of time in therapy.

A full first session does incur a fee, but you are welcome to a free 15 min initial telephone conversation to explore more.
