Hi, I'm Zuzana and I have always been passionate about being able to help and support others, to empower them, offer them a new perspective on life and help them to look at things differently, a change from their own way of seeing things that may not presently be healthy for them.
I believe that no matter what we have been through in life, every one of us with the right support and their motivation for a change has the power to discover that light in their lives and be able to shine.
Having some unpleasant or unwanted thoughts that give us feelings of pain rather than joy and not having someone who will understand, listen to us can be hard but it's normal we have those thoughts or feelings, as we are all humans.
It's alright to seek help if you want a change in your life.
We all have the possibility of a change, of becoming the best version or ourselves, if we want and if we are given the correct opportunity and support.
My intention as a counsellor is to invite you into a safe, warm and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. A space where we can work together in your search and understanding of yourself, your feelings, thoughts and help you to grow through this process of self-acceptance and healing.
I am here to support and help you to confront your pains, discomforts and joys. I provide you with an opportunity to expand another perception and explore new options and ways of managing your issues. I look forward to your call or email.
I am qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor in individual therapy with wide knowledge working with adults and young people experiencing difficulties with self-esteem, depression, relationship issues, trauma, confidence, stress, panic attacks and sexuality. I am also an Accredited Member with the NCS.
In my early training and practice through DePaul charity and Sofalive Counselling Centre, I had the opportunity to support individuals with mental health struggles by offering counselling in areas of low self-esteem, low confidence, anxiety, emotional and verbal abuse, suicidal attempts, relationships issues and self-harm.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Zuzana is so easy to talk to and really listens to what you say to her, I feel respected, comfortable and safe when in sessions with her.
Always listening and gives great advice. Understanding the deep roots of my emotional pain.
Zuzana has been my therapist for almost a year now, and I can categorically state that she is exceptionally skilled at what she does. Zuzana is incredibly empathetic and patient, creating a safe environment that allows for healing. It's been life-changing to finally express myself. No words can express how grateful I am. Thank you.
honestly was so great! so beautiful and inspiring and helped me so so much
Amazing
Zuzana is the best. She always provides space in which I feel safe, heard, supported and understood; for laughing, crying and serious conversations. She is very empathic and kind. Also, Zuzana knows which questions to ask and has a great sense for what I need to get further and when it is the right time. I feel like the sessions are a team work and that I'm understanding myself, my feelings and thoughts more and more. I'm very grateful for having Zuzana as a therapist and I'm looking forward to every session because I know that at the end of it I'm always feeling better.
Zuzana is very compassionate and skilled. She makes me feel comfortable and safe. She never rushes through the sessions, explores my concerns and offers practical solutions. I wish to gain maximum from her help and support.
So kind and respectful. Couldn’t ask for better.
