We use systemic ideas to identify strengths and explore themes, patterns, connections and important relationships.
Zahara means to flower, shine and to flourish. The word Zah origins in Kiswahili, Hindi, Arabic and Hebrew traditions. Furthermore, it transcends the value base of many cultural and community groups.

"Thank you for endorsing me for leadership! I am taking a leaf out of your book here." (LinkedIn Senior Leadership endorsement, Aug 2020)
"Hi Kate , I hope that you've been doing well over the past half a year or so, despite the unprecedented climate.......... I have realised that working with families and attending the Family Therapy workshops have helped my enthusiasm for systemic work. I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for the brilliant facilitation and support, and for being someone I look up to and was extremely comfortable with, both as a clinician and as an individual- I especially enjoyed completing the cultural genogram with you. Despite your busy schedule, you were always willing to go out of your way to hep and I felt your genuine curiosity and compassion for others and for the work- it was a real joy to be involved in this and to learn from you, which has greatly inspired me. The workshops meant a lot to me and it's a real shame placement had to end early, but hopefully the family work at...........will fill the little hole in my heart .....Thank you again and take care!
