Counselling & Psychotherapy
A space to understand what you are experiencing—and discover new ways of living with it.
There are times when life feels heavier than it should. Anxiety becomes difficult to manage, relationships feel strained, grief resists easy answers, or professional pressures begin to affect emotional well-being.
At other times, the difficulty is harder to name—a sense of disconnection, uncertainty about what you want, or the feeling that familiar ways of coping are no longer working.
Counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences with curiosity and care.

Areas of Support
- Anxiety and emotional overwhelm - Persistent worry, stress, exhaustion or physical tension that has become difficult to manage.
- Low mood and loss of meaning - Feelings of sadness, emptiness, disconnection or uncertainty about what gives life meaning.
- Grief and loss - Making space for bereavement, separation and other forms of loss that may not follow a predictable path.
- Relationships and intimacy - Understanding recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust and the patterns that shape close relationships.
- Life transitions - Navigating change, uncertainty, ageing, relocation, parenthood, separation or a new phase of life.
- Workplace stress and burnout - Working with professional pressure, difficult workplace relationships, exhaustion and the emotional impact of work.
- Identity and self-worth - Exploring self-doubt, shame, confidence, belonging and the expectations through which you have learned to see yourself.
- Recurring emotional and behavioural patterns - Recognising responses that may once have been protective but now limit choice, connection or fulfilment.
- Family relationships - Exploring family tensions, unresolved experiences and the ways early relationships continue to influence the present.
- Mind–body awareness - Understanding how emotional experiences and unresolved stress may also be held and expressed through the body.
Understanding what lies beneath
The difficulties we experience in the present often have deeper roots. Ways of responding that once helped us feel safe or connected can gradually become patterns that restrict us.
Therapy creates space to recognise these patterns without judgement. As what was previously hidden becomes visible, it becomes possible to understand yourself differently, respond with greater awareness and make choices that feel more authentic.
The purpose is not simply to remove discomfort. It is to develop a deeper relationship with yourself and a greater capacity to meet life with freedom, resilience and choice.
An integrated approach
Liya’s work draws on Jungian and Rogerian perspectives, Transactional Analysis, Internal Family Systems, neuroscience and the connection between mind and body. Rather than applying a fixed formula, she adapts the work to each person’s circumstances, emotional readiness and needs.
Where appropriate, therapeutic work may involve a structured intake process, specialist psychological assessment or coordination with a qualified psychiatrist. Medical evaluation and medication remain the responsibility of the treating psychiatrist.

Rather than applying a fixed formula, she adapts the work to each person’s circumstances, emotional readiness and needs. The therapeutic relationship is collaborative: the pace and direction of the work develop through attentive conversation, reflection and a growing understanding of what may be taking place beneath the surface.
HOW THE WORK BEGINS

We begin with a confidential conversation to understand what brings you to therapy, what you are experiencing and the kind of support you may need.

Understanding your needs
Where useful, the intake process may include a more structured exploration of your history, present concerns and emotional well-being. A specialist psychological assessment may be suggested when it could deepen understanding or help clarify the way forward.

The therapeutic work is shaped around your needs and readiness. Where additional clinical support is appropriate, Liya may coordinate with a qualified psychiatrist or another relevant professional, with your knowledge and consent.
