Guidance Session with Dr Zakia

An hour to be listened to, and to think gently about what kind of support would help you most.

What you'll receive:

  • One hour with me by video, at a time that suits you
  • Space to talk through what you're carrying, at your own pace
  • Guidance on the kind of therapy or support that may suit you, and how to find a therapist who understands your background
  • A short written summary with your next steps, sent by email afterwards

After you pay, you'll be asked a few short questions, and then you can choose a time (Monday to Friday, 10am to 11am UK time).

I'm a GP with training in systemic family therapy. This is a single guidance session. It is not therapy, medical advice or a diagnosis, and any follow-up afterwards is by email only.

Changing or cancelling. You can reschedule or cancel for a full refund up to 72 hours before your session. If you need to change it with less than 72 hours' notice, I'm not able to offer a refund, as the hour has been held for you, although if something unexpected has happened I'll do my best to rearrange it once. If you haven't joined within 15 minutes of the start time and I haven't heard from you, the session will be treated as taken. If I ever need to cancel, you'll be offered a new time or a full refund.

If you are in crisis or worried about your safety, please contact your own GP or call NHS 111. In an emergency call 999, or call Samaritans free on 116 123 at any time.
