Hi love, I’m Zaira.

Integrative Arts Psychotherapist, Creative Wellbeing & Bodymind Meditation Facilitator 

I’m here to guide you to strengthen your creative, self-healing life force and reclaim your power, joy, and authentically sacred self.

I want to honour the courage it takes to reach out when you’re struggling. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change but unsure where to begin. I’m glad you’re here, and I trust that together, we can navigate the waves of your unique journey.

HEre’s a free gift as a thank you for being here

A little about me

It’s important that you choose to place your trust in a therapist that you can relate to, feel safe with, and understood by. Beyond the human labels that are most familiar to us, I am a lover of nature, creator of joy, social activist, intuitive artist, wise mystic and I embody the spirit of a brave-heart lioness.

I’m a mixed-race, multi-ethnic, cis-gender woman of colour, born in the UK to first-generation refugee parents. I know what it feels like to be ‘othered’ and to carry the weight of cultural dissonance. Healing for me has meant learning to love and celebrate all parts of myself, and cultural sensitivity is deeply woven into my work with you.

How I Can Support You

Life can feel like a relentless hamster wheel sometimes; deadlines, family demands, chores, social pressures, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or lonely. These feelings are natural responses shaped by your unique history, culture, and the stories held in your body.

Together, we’ll gently explore how your experiences influence your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. I offer trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and creative approaches using arts psychotherapy, and Eastern practices that involve somatic practices, meditation, and breathwork.

I tend to attract people experiencing anxious or depressive responses to life, often related to relational trauma including racial and intergenerational trauma. Many clients struggle with low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and harmful coping patterns. I also support those navigating life transitions such as career changes, relationship endings, and identity exploration.

Whatever you’re carrying, there is space here for all of you… your story, your wounds, and all that you are becoming.

How We’ll Work Together

My integrative approach draws on Western arts psychotherapy, nature-therapy, transpersonal, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, gestalt, attachment theory, mentalisation, and neuroscience. I have training in ancient Eastern philosophy and practices that draw on Vedic wisdom, Yoga, Buddhism, Zen and Ayurveda. My approach is uniquely tailored to you, and your lived experiences.

The heart of our work is our relationship. I hold space with empathy, respect, and collaboration. Together, we co-create a safe, trusting environment where you’re invited to express your emotions, access your inner wisdom, and experiment with new ways of being.

I offer online therapy, alongside workshops, retreats, and creative wellbeing sessions both online and in person in the UK. Our work moves at your pace, honoring your readiness and boundaries.

Modalities, Practices and Principles

  • Art Therapy Image Making

    Creative Arts

    Art making in 2D and 3D (painting, clay, puppetry, poetry, sandtray and music) opens a portal into your unconscious mind, awakening creativity and fresh perspectives. You don’t need to be an artist. The power is in the process, not the product.

  • Embodiment Body Work

    Bodywork, breathwork and movement

    Somatic practices reconnect you with your body’s sensations, breath, and rhythms, calming your nervous system and unlocking deep wisdom.

  • Guided visualisation meditation

    Guided visualisations and meditation

    Ignite your imagination to safely experience new emotional states, connect with your true self, and move beyond limiting thoughts. As a meditation facilitator, I guide you gently into these transformative experiences.

  • Psychotherapy

    Integrative psychotherapy and co-active coaching principles

    You are creative and resourceful. I don’t give advice but support you to listen deeply to your authentic self and nurture your self-healing capacity.
