1. Stephanie Bird ★★★☆☆

   Disappointed but wiser. Learned that entering into therapy is not just simply a matter of a long-term commitment by you but also requires a long-term commitment by the therapist. Zen's initial and recommended approach is for you to attend one or more pre consultations to gather information about you, followed by your long or short term commitment toward ongoing therapy. As a novice, this seems logical and expected. None-the-less and rather naively, by the third consultation, Zen payed particular attention to my personal living and financial arrangements and their effects upon any future therapy commitment. Disturbingly, Zen asked whether I had actually considered this myself whilst seemingly assessing whether I was worth the commercial risk to him. In that moment, I realised this was a business to Zen not just therapy, entirely understandable. None-the-less, I never expected that the way in which Zen positioned this dialogue was in fact, a way to filter which clients he took on. A lesson learned...Zen was not the right therapist for me and may indeed, not be the right therapist for others. Further, although he may advertise as taking into account lower incomes and offering a small concession, this sits in contradiction to what he actually intends for himself. As `I pointed out at the time, tackling this aspect might well have been more appropriate in the first consultation and not after the third.
