Zsofia Vari

I currently have some availability for new clients and offer both short- and long-term counselling. My usual working hours are Tuesday to Thursday, 10am–1pm, with evening online sessions available Monday to Thursday between 5–7pm. I also offer a limited number of Saturday morning appointments between 9am–12pm.

Sessions are available online across the UK and in person in Wimbledon (SW19).

Where possible, I aim to offer a regular weekly slot that works for both of us, with some flexibility around holidays or unexpected changes. I respond to new enquiries personally, usually within 24–48 hours on weekdays.

Whether you are looking for ongoing counselling or support with something more specific, you are very welcome to get in touch and we can discuss availability together.

I’m an integrative counsellor offering a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard and accepted. My approach is collaborative, and I work at a pace that feels manageable for you.

I work with individuals and couples. In couples counselling, I support partners to understand recurring patterns, improve communication, manage conflict and strengthen their emotional connection. I draw on research-informed tools from Gottman Method Couples Therapy alongside my integrative approach. I aim to provide a balanced space where both partners can feel heard and work towards shared goals.

In individual counselling, I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, domestic abuse, coercive or controlling relationships, and the longer-term impact of childhood sexual abuse. I also work with loss, identity, cultural pressures and experiences that may have affected your sense of safety, trust, self-worth or connection with others.

Alongside talking therapy, I use somatic awareness to help you notice how stress, trauma and difficult experiences may show up in the body. I also draw on IFS-informed parts work to explore different emotional responses, protective patterns and inner conflicts with curiosity and compassion.

When helpful, I may also use CBT-informed and brief solution-focused approaches, particularly when working with anxiety, OCD-related patterns, panic, phobias, work stress or burnout.

My work is also shaped by more than 20 years of living in London while navigating different cultural backgrounds. I understand how complex it can feel to live between cultures, family expectations and different ideas about identity, relationships and belonging.

Faith, spirituality and traditional values are welcome in my practice. I see these as important parts of identity for many people and, when they are meaningful to you, we can explore them in a way that respects your beliefs, heritage and personal experience.

I offer support with:

• Anxiety, stress, trauma and emotional overwhelm
  
• Childhood experiences that continue to affect adult life
  
• Domestic abuse, coercive or controlling relationships, and the impact of childhood sexual abuse
  
• Relationship difficulties and life transitions
  
• Feeling stuck, losing confidence or struggling with self-worth
  
• Cultural, family or identity-related pressures
  
• Couples counselling, including communication difficulties, recurring conflict and emotional disconnection
  

I see clients in person in Wimbledon, approximately three minutes from the station, and online across the UK.

I feel privileged to support individuals and couples as they develop greater understanding, clarity, confidence and emotional steadiness.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet, get a sense of one another and see how it feels to work together. We can gently explore what has brought you to counselling, what you are currently experiencing and what you might hope to gain from the process. We may talk about your current situation, relevant background and any previous support you have received. There is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable; we can move at a pace that feels right for you.

Couples counselling begins with an assessment process to help me understand your relationship history, current difficulties, strengths and hopes for therapy. The first 90-minute session gives both partners time to share their perspectives and begin identifying the patterns affecting the relationship. We can then agree together on the focus and goals for our ongoing work.

Next steps: If you would like to continue, we can agree a regular weekly session time that works for everyone.

Free consultation: I offer individuals and couples a free 30-minute phone or video consultation before booking a full session. This gives you an opportunity to ask initial questions and consider whether working together feels like a good fit.
