My Approach

I embrace an attitude that affirms the inherent value of each individual, and offer a flexible yet pragmatic approach. Being integrative, I draw on many therapeutic disciplines, such as the in-depth awareness focused approaches inspired by transpersonal and depth psychology, as well as the solution focus inherent in cognitive approaches and the creative aspects of art and drama therapy. This means that I call upon an extensive range of maps, models and understanding from various theoretical systems. Each provides its own valuable perspective and is enhanced when carefully integrated with another.



The term ‘integrative’ also refers to the process of integrating the personality, taking disowned aspects of the self and bringing them into awareness, therefore reducing the need for self-defeating defence mechanisms and behaviour.

About Me

With the aim of enabling you to enhance your quality of life and relationships, I am experienced in helping clients who have struggled with a wide range of difficulties — whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.

Over the last two decades I have been an Integrative psychotherapist and counsellor seeing individuals, couples and groups at the Priory Hospital, NHS, Tavistock Relationships and in my consulting rooms in Hampstead, North West London. I am committed to providing psychotherapy and counselling to clients from diverse backgrounds, on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, in a safe, confidential environment. I listen with sensitivity and empathy — and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Lia’s passion lies in exploring the intricate interplay between our past relationships and how they shape our present connections with ourselves and others. Specialising in addressing underlying issues which manifest in symptoms such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship challenges, sexual difficulties, eating disorders, addictions, ADHD, personality and attachment issues, she recognises these as outcomes of past relational deficits, impingements, and losses. Employing an integrative humanistic approach, Lia promotes wellbeing by empowering her patients to enhance self-awareness and agency — exploring emotions, disruptive patterns, and hidden narratives. This transformative process often leads to a renewed perspective, improved self-esteem, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of purpose and fulfilment, both in one’s professional and personal life.
The process of therapy is about human relationships. The goals of therapy are about resolving the blocks to mature emotional functioning; achieving the capacity ‘to love and to work’. Difficulties with this can lead to loneliness, anxiety, depression and a range of other issues.
Who am I? is a question we ask ourselves throughout, as we transition through our lives. Reflecting on belonging and Individuation as well as character, goals and decision making.
Relationships are an essential part of our lives, from family and friends to partners and spouses. We have a natural tendency to develop intimate and intense relationships with a few select individuals, which can bring joy and happiness. Difficulties in relationships are one of the most common causes of unhappiness, and often bring people into therapy. Relationship counselling can help you whether you’re young or old, straight or gay, single or in a relationship. Lots of people have an idea of what relationship counselling is and think that you only need counselling when things get really bad. But even if your problems seem trivial, relationship counselling can help. Couple therapy offers a safe and confidential environment where individuals and couples can explore their relationship concerns with an experienced, professional therapist. By helping you to identify the roots of your difficulties, relationship counselling brings clarity and facilitates positive change.
