About Issaka

Issaka Zango works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and helps them find clearer ways to cope and move forward. He uses a collaborative, person-focused method and has four years' experience. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

People come to him for many reasons: grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, problems with intimacy, sleep issues, anger and career worries. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue and life transitions. He can help untangle family-origin issues, blended family tensions and communication problems that affect daily life.

In sessions he listens and reflects rather than giving instructions. He aims to help clients put feelings into words and to develop practical tools they can use between sessions. Conversations are paced to suit each person, and time is taken to identify small, achievable steps that build confidence.

His approach draws on client-centred work, Jungian ideas and psychodynamic thinking, with motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems influences. That mix is used to explore both present concerns and deeper patterns that repeat over time. The result is a blend of talking therapy and practical planning.

Issaka offers a straightforward way to begin: a short matching questionnaire followed by a first session to set goals and agree the best way to work together. Fees vary by location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The initial step is to select the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete the brief questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How his approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor offers a non-directive stance that helps people speak about what matters and set their own goals, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life decisions.

Jungian ideas look at personal patterns and symbols in life stories. This approach can help people understand repeated themes in relationships or feelings of emptiness and life purpose.

Motivational Interviewing concentrates on strengthening motivation for change. It is practical and useful for issues such as addiction, behavioural change and finding direction.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will work with clients to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences, and adjust the style as work progresses.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as none are listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or when quieter surroundings are preferable, so practical choices help make therapy work around daily life.
