Hi, my name is Zak Lyon. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, a Buddhist, and a level 6 person-centred psychotherapist with a first-class Bachelor’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy: Professional Practice from the University of Salford. I am a Registered Member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and I have experience working with a range of issues, specialising in anxiety, self-esteem, and LGBTQ+ issues, as well as working with depression, trauma, grief, and more.

Counselling gives you the opportunity to explore your problems in a safe, caring, and non-judgemental space. It can be especially helpful if you are going through a difficult time or feeling confused about what to do. Whether you're worried about the future or ashamed about something in the past. It can offer a space for you to talk about your week, or to explore the underlying causes of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, to work towards your goals and find solutions, or to develop coping strategies and techniques to make things just that little bit more manageable.

I use a person-centred foundation, which is a psychotherapeutic approach where you decide what you want to talk about in each session, and we go at your own pace. You won’t be told what to do or how to feel. Instead, you will be empowered to make your own decisions based on what you feel is best for you. 

I work remotely via Zoom or over the phone. Sessions are held weekly, but fortnightly sessions are also available. The number of sessions is open-ended, and you can cancel at any point. I also offer a free 30-60 minute consultation session so that you can get a feel for the therapy, ask any questions, and see if it's right for you before committing to a full session.

During the consultation session, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you might have. I will explain in more detail the way that I work and what to expect from me as a therapist. We will also have a short discussion about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from therapy. There is no pressure to book in any sessions right away.
