My name is Zak and I am a qualified and experienced integrative psychotherapist, counsellor and mindfulness practitioner,

I am also the founder of ‘Cultivating Therapeutic Counselling’ a growing and thriving private practice in Cheshunt and North London.

CTC offers short and long term psychotherapy and counselling to individuals and couples, offering you a warm, confidential, and non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours with an experienced and qualified therapist, in an environment where you can feel safe, listened to and understood.

We at CTC firmly believe that people are wonderfully complex, unique and diverse and cannot be categorised into any specific theory or orientation, So we like to work with whatever skill or technique a client may need at any particular moment, in order to move them towards self awareness and change.

CTC works in an integrative, adaptive and relational way, drawing upon many modalities and techniques that me and my team have studied, that helps to inform the therapeutic process and practice.

CTC is not here to analyse, diagnose, label or judge anyone and does not offer advice, opinions or solutions, we will simply offer you the ideal conditions for you to explore your world and experiences at your own pace, helping you to cultivate a self awareness that can lead you to discovering your own solutions to your own problems.

CTC prides itself on the autonomy, empathy and compassion for all clients,

as we at CTC recognise, and are fully aware, that the client is the expert on themselves and that the relationship is the most important aspect of the therapeutic process and change.

I am fully Qualified by training extensively for 5 years, I have a wealth of experience with working with people and I also have a wealth of lived experience as opposed to having just read about certain things from books.

I have been working in private practice for over 4 years now.

I also regularly see a supervisor, who is another experienced counsellor, who always offers me a clinical, ethical and professional perspective on my work so that I can be of the best possible service to my clients.

I am continuously reading and studying up to date research and material which is part of my continuous professional development (CPD), which enhances my experience, knowledge and effectiveness as a therapist in order to give you the best possible experience of counselling.

If you would like any further information please phone or email and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
