WELLBEING AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT – 1:1 

If you are unsure, together we will support and work with you on finding your suitable pathway. 

THERAPY and CBT SIGN UP PATHWAY 

ZAZI 1:1 is a safe, supportive, non-judgemental, confidential space; to talk freely to one of our qualified Therapists; either from a high intensity background or for low intensity support. The space provide for you, will be open for you to express, explore, discover, and understand your experiences and any current difficulties you may be experiencing. 

1:1 sessions with a Qualified ZAZI Practitioner SIGN UP PATHWAY 

This option is for those who may not want or be ready for direct therapeutic support but would like guidance and support from a qualified therapist. These sessions can be held within academic settings (your school, college or university), our therapy rooms and online if needed. On a lower level of intensity than therapy the sessions will be in place for you to express, explore, discover, and understand your experiences, development, goals and any current difficulties you may be experiencing. 

The Zazi therapy space is informed by intersectionality (how our different social identities mix/overlap i.e race, gender, class, disability) We follow a “A black empathic approach” (Mavinga 2009) which recognises, values and sensitively responds to the complexities of racial and cultural experiences of young people who identify as Black, African, South Asian, Caribbean and those from all ethnically diverse backgrounds. 

SCHOOL SESSIONS – Groups (We offer 1:1 CBT within schools if requested) 

Option 1: Currently running within MET and Fairfield – October 2025-June 2026 

ZAZI run yearlong sessions (weekly) within secondary schools supporting those from ethnically diverse backgrounds, providing them with a platform and voice to explore their identity, skillset and knowledge alongside their peers. Resulting in an end showcase presenting their work and learning open for all to attend. 

Option 2: Currently running within Cotham – 2025

Our masculinity sessions look at what it means to be a “man” from multiple vantage points. We explore patriarchy, misogyny, wellbeing, relationships, culture and self-expression within our sessions. Our aim is to help unpack the issues associated with masculinity, so that young men can become allies within their social spaces, and also advocate and cultivate authentic, unapologetic, meaningful masculine expression. Subject to availability and capacity.

Further Options: 

ZAZI also offer assemblies, classroom talks and staff guidance/training (subject to availability). – Fees apply for training
