Healing happens in safe connection.
The world around us can make it hard to find that kind of connection—good thing there's therapy!
I firmly believe that the connection between client and therapist is make-or-break when it comes to the possibility of change.
If you're looking for a therapist that's down-to-earth, warm, and real, I'm your gal.
I strive to create a relaxed, low-pressure space to help you heal, understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, and create a life that feels good and makes sense for who you are.
MEET THE therapist
Hi, I'm Zinta!
Welcome—I’m glad you’re here.
I’ve felt drawn to this work for as long as I can remember. Even in high school, I was fascinated by people—why we think the way we do, what shapes our emotions, and how our experiences stay with us.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years in arts and design after completing a degree in Communications. Eventually, I found my way back to what had always felt like a calling.
Now, with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy, I feel deeply grateful to support people as they navigate the complexities of being human in today’s world.
I understand how overwhelming relationships, mental health challenges, and everyday life can feel. I’ve had my own experiences with anxiety and depression, and more recently found out I was neurospicy (something I’d suspected for a long time).
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.
If you're ready to get started, I'd love to connect. Book your free, no-obligation consult:

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. ...
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
Perfection is static, and I am in full progress.”
