How I can help

My name is Zana Parker and I am a qualified and accredited Counsellor with about 15 years experience. I work with adults who come with a range of concerns, difficulties or things they wish to explore. I offer appointments once-a-month during a published week (see appointment availability page.) You can meet with me just once - 'single session therapy' - or you can choose to return a few weeks later.

 

In addition, given my rather unique blend of qualifications, I have a special interest in working with anyone who has concerns arising from pregnancy, birth and/or becoming a parent.

 

I work in private practice near Totton, Hampshire in an easy-to-find location outside the town. My room is located just off the main A35, accessible from Romsey, Southampton, New Forest, Winchester and surrounding areas. I can also meet you online.

 

Do browse around my website to find out more about me and the counselling service I offer and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

What might counselling help with?

There are many reasons why you might choose to have counselling...

  • You might be finding it difficult to adjust to a change in your life, perhaps following bereavement, divorce or separation
  • You might feel "stuck" or unsure and feel unable to move forward
  • You might feel sad, anxious or tense
  • You might like some time just to focus on you and to explore how you relate to others and the world around you

 

Perhaps you'd like to...

  • Understand yourself more deeply

  • Build self esteem
  • Lift low mood or depression
  • Move forward from a life event
  • Understand and manage anxiety or stress
  • Adjust to change
  • Be kinder to yourself
  • Understand and improve the way you relate to others
  • Live a more fulfilling life

Pregnancy, birth, parenthood

Being additionally professionally qualified as an antenatal educator and hypnobirthing teacher I also have a special interest in working with people who want to explore concerns connected to having a baby. For example...

  • Feeling anxious or scared about labour and birth (even if you're not yet pregnant)
  • Postnatal depression
  • Suffering a scary or traumatic birth experience
  • Miscarriage
  • Pregnancy termination
  • Feeling disappointed
  • Coping with new emotions
  • Struggling with adjusting to parenthood
  • The impact of a baby in your life

Please contact me if you think you could benefit from counselling at this challenging and sometimes overwhelming time, whether you're a parent, member of the extended family or a friend.
