We Are Focused On
Realising potential
Personal goals achieved
Your ZPD counsellor / coach / consultant will take time to identify what wellness and success looks like to you, and how you will be able to track and measure your progress over time to ensure that your personal goals are met.
Personal outcome ratings
Choose from a suite of evidence-based tools to self-rate your health and wellbeing, emotional needs, stress levels and coping methods, and satisfaction with your quality of life. ZPD actively monitor and feed back on your personal outcome measures and tailor sessions to ensure you are provided with support to gain activation in key areas that make a tangible and lasting difference.
Session outcome ratings
ZPD ask what's working well and what you'd like more and less of to make our sessions together amazing. We listen, and we adapt. We are masters of our professions with multiple modalities and approaches in our repertoire to integrate and customise to suit you.
Progress as defined by you
This is your journey and the ZPD team will travel at your pace, with your pitstops and water breaks. We get it, we've walked this terrain too.
We suggest you begin with the end in mind, and plan for it. Together we co-construct a map of the territory. Commit to active reflection and regular actions towards small goals outside of ZPD sessions, and you may end up somewhere even more beautiful than you imagine today.
We look forward to celebrating success with you.
