Personal Profile


I’m Liza, a BACP-registered counsellor & psychotherapist with a BSc (Hons), based in Chiswick (W4) and Richmond (TW9). I offer confidential counselling for adults, in person and online, across the UK. 

I support people with a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and bereavement, relationship and family difficulties (such as affairs, divorce, and betrayal), anger, burnout, low self-esteem, addiction, phobias, eating difficulties, self-harm, health anxiety, OCD, PTSD, suicidal thoughts, and many other emotional and psychological challenges. I also work with people living with or bereaved by cancer.

Alongside my private practice, I work within hospital & mental health services supporting adults experiencing psychological distress, trauma, crisis & suicidal thoughts. I am a counsellor at a cancer centre, working with people affected by cancer or bereavement.

My therapy is tailored to your individual needs, with experience supporting clients with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone consultation to discuss your needs, answer questions, and see if we’re a good fit. I am also DBS-enhanced, providing additional reassurance for clients and families.
