Zara Kitchingman
Counsellor | Child & Adolescent Therapist

Zara has been practicing since 2018. She works from a humanistic, strengths-based, and holistic lens, with a practice that is trauma-informed, person-centred, and neuro-affirming.

Zara applies an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Play and Expressive Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among others, tailoring support to individuals' developmental needs, strengths, interests and goals.

​Zara believes each person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change when provided with safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environments.​​ Central to her work is fostering authentic relationships that enhance well-being, identity, and connection. Through collaboration, she works alongside you to build self-awareness, implement positive change, strengthen your relationships, and move beyond limiting expectations.​

This collaboration builds a trusting therapeutic alliance, central to the counselling process and serves as the foundation for personal growth and living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
