About Issaka

Issaka Zango is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and life changes, including addiction, grief and trauma-related concerns. Issaka supports clients who struggle with day-to-day tasks or feel overwhelmed by emotions.

His sessions focus on helping people put their experience into words. He listens without judgement and works collaboratively to build practical skills. Conversations aim to increase self-understanding, confidence and the ability to cope with difficult feelings.

Issaka describes his approach as integrative. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to keep the client’s perspective central. He also uses Jungian and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns that shape behaviour and relationships.

Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems provide tools for change and for working with conflicting inner parts. He adapts methods to suit what each person needs rather than following one fixed model.

People who choose Issaka can expect direct conversation about what matters to them. Sessions tend to blend reflective listening with practical exercises and discussion of real-life choices. He invites clients to set goals and to review progress at a steady pace.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. Online conversations using this approach focus on listening closely, reflecting what the client says and helping them decide what matters next. It suits people wanting straightforward talk and clearer direction.

Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, recurring life themes and patterns that shape feelings and behaviour. In an online setting this can mean guided discussion about dreams, imagery and life stories to gain new perspectives on long-standing issues.

Motivational Interviewing offers short, practical techniques to move through ambivalence and make changes. Online sessions can include goal-setting, exploring motivations and planning small steps to test out new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and make decisions together based on your goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on practical tools, deeper exploration, or a mix of both.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or enabling contact across time zones. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and tools to suit remote sessions, and the therapist will help plan practical arrangements when you set up your first appointment.
