Amazing experience, he really helped me through an incredibly dark period of my life. He didn't give me answers, but that's not what I needed, I needed someone to listen to me when nobody else would.

More about Issaka

Life is difficult, confusing and scary sometimes, we can feel misunderstood and overwhelmed by issues that seem to multiply by the day. Perhaps you have a vision of where you want to go but no way to get there, perhaps even planning what you want for dinner is a struggle. You may be anxious, depressed, lost, grieving, searching for direction or struggling to cope with it all. I understand. Speaking about emotional pain can feel risky. Discovering the honesty and courage to put your experience into words can contribute to developing insight, self-confidence and self-respect.

I am Issaka (or Zak) an integrative therapist based in the UK with over 4 years of experience, I specialise in working with you to identify and explore areas in which you struggle and helping you develop bespoke tools that enable you to excel. I will support your journey with understanding and empathy, I will not judge you or tell you what to do, rather, we will collaborate to build your resilience and move you closer to where you deserve to be.

My therapy style is accepting and compassionate. I believe in treating everyone with the utmost respect and dignity, it is my role to strive to understand what it means to exist in the world of my clients and walk alongside them. My approach combines Humanistic, Jungian analytical modalities and coaching. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, as no one approach fits everyone, thus, we can work together to find an approach that works for you.

Psychotherapy is a unique form of conversation. It unfolds and deepens over time. Speaking about emotional pain can feel risky. Discovering the honesty and courage to put your experience into words can contribute to developing insight, self-confidence and self-respect. Profound fears and anxieties can gradually assume more human proportions.

Taking the first steps towards change and seeking a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage. If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to support and empower you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you want to increase your self-awareness and understanding. Together, we'll take it one step at a time and begin to make sense of it all. I'm excited to work with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

He has a very keen understanding of how human emotions work and has been a great help with coping with many aspects of relationship management.

Reviewed May 2024

I have really benefited from having Issaka as my therapist as his approach compliments my needs. I always feel heard with him and he did a great job of ensuring our sessions were a safe space to explore my thoughts and feelings early on so now having worked with him for a while I am extremely comfortable to discuss whatever comes up for me and I’m grateful that his structure allows me to do that really organically. He is very respectful and considerate which is another reason why I think working with him has helped me so much.

Issaka is a good listener, he immediately start thinking in your way and guide you by your own words to solution. And that is making you understand and start to think about how you can help your self outside the one on one session. Strongly suggest to choose him.

Issaka Zango is an amazing therapist and more than I could have asked for. He isn't only very skilled with the therapeutic methods (which I am familiar with because of my own professional back round) but he is very connecting in a humane and compassionate way as well. I experienced other therapists before but felt never that well cared for like he does.

Reviewed July 2023

I was hesitant to try online therapy but I'm immensely content that I did. My therapist Issaka Zango was helpful in assisting me to carve a way forward from a very low point in my life to seeing new possibilities. For the past 3 months, with his guidance, I have been taking tangible steps to work on myself. He is attentive, insightful, and compassionate. I felt listened to, understood, and supported. The progress made in our sessions has had a great impact on my mental health. I'm looking forward to continuing my journey of getting better, one week at a time.

Reviewed July 2023

Issaka has been really helpful over the time I have spoken with him. I feel over the time we’ve spoken that I’m closer to getting to a place I’d be happy with. There is a great combination of self coaching where we discuss certain topics throughout the last week as well as looking at long term issues I’ve experienced too. I fully appreciate how they help me ‘self coach’ being able to help myself in particular moments. I feel I can fully trust Issaka and I feel comfortable talking about things I haven’t shared with anyone else and id fully recommend to someone who is seeking help

I have very much enjoyed working with Issaka! I have made tremendous progress during our sessions and he has helped me greatly in understanding my thoughts and behavior patterns. He is very knowledgeable about psychology and mental health. He is very understanding and compassionate, and is able to empathize with the client.

Issaka is a wonderful man who helped me reach a lot in my life. He leads the sessions in such an intelligent and delicate way. Issaka gave me probably the best way of therapy to get out of my Trauma and other difficulties. Highly recommended.

I have been working with Zak for over four months now. The sessions have been very insightful in helping me uncover my negative thought patterns and their potential sources. Zak is a great listener, is empathetic, and picks up on all the details. He then links between things you have said throughout your sessions which helps you see the bigger picture. You can tell that he tailors the sessions to you and your needs. When I began therapy I thought there was no way out at all. However, slowly and surely I got to a much better place now, especially with his help and support.

The best therapist I'd had so far. He helped me understand and askt eh right questions about my situation.

Reviewed September 2022

Issaka listens without interrupting and manages to pick out things that may seem to me, just in the flow of talking/conversation, but they may have a significant impact or be a continuous theme in the way I think. It’s been interesting to hear and see someone picking out things in just a few sessions. But that can be different per person. Some people may be more reserved or scared, where as I talk a lot and go on tangents. He always manages to to pick something from 10 minutes ago that’s relevant to the entire piece of dialogue. Seems interested aswell, I can imagine it would be hard to hide any disinterest or a dislike for someone, as therapists must come across similar things in a wide variety of people, which would point to certain personality types. Issaka also answers the few messages I leave in the session chat, with very full answers. This will take up his time, and I appreciate the response. That in itself made me look forward to therapy rather than resist it
