Appointment availability

Zana's appointments are changing

​​From 1st March 2026 appointments will be available during one week per month only.

During the available week you can choose to book an appointment of any length. 

Payment will be pro-rata, based on £50 per hour (eg: 1 hour for £50, 90 mins for £75, 2 hours for £100, etc)

If you're an existing client, are happy with appointments once a month but want a bit longer than an hour, you can arrange that.

If you're new, and you just want a one-off appointment to explore one particular thing, you can arrange that, if appropriate.

You may prefer to seek a different counsellor if ongoing weekly sessions are more suited to your needs.

Please email Zana to discuss your needs and to book your sessions: zanaparker@gmail.com 

Appointments are held in-person near Totton, Hampshire, UK. We can also meet online using GoogleMeet.

Single Session Therapy

Single session therapy isn't right for everyone, but it might suit you if you have one particular thing you wish to address without committing to longer-term therapy. 

You might like to use a single session to...

  • learn skills that help you manage anxiety more effectively

  • use as a 'sounding board' for something you've been mulling over

  • help you reach a decision about something

  • learn and use self-regulation techniques

  • explore how you might change the way you relate to another person

  • identify a goal and create a plan that feels right for you

  • remind yourself of what you can do

​​

Or, given Zana's many years' experience devising and delivering antenatal education and hypnobirthing courses for 100s of new parents, you might like to...

  • unpick a previous difficult birth experience

  • blend counselling with antenatal education 

  • consider, plan and prepare differently for your next baby's birth​

  • book a 2-hour breathing and relaxation session for you and your birth partner

 

Single session therapy tends to be more goal-orientated than weekly ongoing therapy, so if you want to explore something in great relational depth, you might prefer to seek a counsellor who offers this.

 

Please note that single session therapy will be most effective if we arrange to meet for a minimum of 90 minutes. Two hours would be ideal. I will email you some forms to complete and return before we meet. I will ask you in advance to tell me more about yourself and about what has brought you to counselling, so that when we meet, we use our time together as efficiently as possible. ​If, at the end of your single session, you decide that you would like another session, this can be booked (depending on availability) for the following month.
