Zephyr Devon

Zephyr Devon is an experienced therapist at Nightingale Hospital, supporting individuals with a range of emotional and psychological challenges. With 20 years of counselling and psychotherapy experience, she has worked across NHS hospitals, university student counselling services, charity organisations, and private practice. She specialises in treating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, PTSD, postnatal depression, bereavement, stress, panic attacks, and interpersonal difficulties.

She has extensive experience working with women from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic Refugee (BAMER) communities, particularly those fleeing domestic violence. She has developed and facilitated therapeutic groups for women in East London who have experienced physical and psychological abuse. Her work encompasses issues related to trauma, cultural and spiritual challenges, domestic violence, low self-esteem, abuse, neglect, guilt, and shame.

Zephyr takes an integrative approach to therapy, combining cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychodynamic methods, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), counselling, and well-being therapies. She creates a non-judgemental and safe space where individuals can explore their struggles at their own pace, empowering them in their recovery journey. As a trauma-informed therapist, she prioritises emotional and psychological safety, recognising the deep impact trauma can have on relationships and daily life.

She holds a postgraduate diploma in Trauma Therapy and a postgraduate diploma in Integrative Therapy, as well as a BA (Hons) in Development Studies. She is an accredited member of the BACP and has completed further training in CBT skills, applied suicide intervention, bereavement counselling, and group work. Fluent in English, Hindi, and Urdu, Zephyr provides culturally sensitive therapy, acknowledging the complexities of intersectionality and individual lived experiences.
