My Approach

My Humanistic values constitute the foundation of my work. I believe in treating everyone with respect and sensitivity. I also believe that we all have - within ourselves - the potential to heal, grow, manage emotions and live authentic and meaningful lives. Sometimes, during the course of our lives, we may have learnt to disconnect from this inner potential (in childhood for example or later on in life as we experience loss, trauma, relationship issues, racism, divorce, etc. ). My role as a therapist is to help you reconnect with your potential so you are eventually able to manage and move through your difficulties.

My approach is integrative, which means that I have three different approaches to draw from depending on your unique preferences and specific needs. The three approaches are: Gestalt, Person-centred and Transactional Analysis. As an example, I might lean towards Gestalt if you would like to focus more on a somatic and embodied approach. Please get in touch if you would like to know more and understand how we might work together.

My role as a therapist is to offer a supportive, safe and confidential environment where I can help you work through life's challenges and emotional difficulties.

Depending on the reasons why you have come to therapy, our work together usually involves:

Understanding obstacles and blocks
Looking at problems from different angles and perspectives
Clarifying issues and getting to the root of your difficulties
Understanding and managing emotions
Raising awareness
Identifying and shifting underlying and unhelpful beliefs
Acknowledging losses and healing wounds

About Me

Hello, I'm Liana and work as a Humanistic integrative psychotherapist. I have completed a five-year Masters degree at the Metanoia Institute in London and have experience working in private practice, mental health charity organisations and the NHS. I work with clients who experience a wide range of issues, such as: anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, difficulties in setting boundaries, trauma and bereavement. The list is not exhaustive so please get in touch to discuss how I can best support you.
I understand that sometimes, it is hard to find the words for how we feel. Being heard and understood by a professional can be a first step towards relief and lasting change.
