More about Livia

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Prior to my counselling and psychotherapy training, my background was in psychology. I am an integrative psychotherapist, adapting to your individuality by blending multiple methods and theories including (but not limited to) person-centered therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused therapy.

Sessions will provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and confidential space where you feel able to explore more of yourself and share any difficulties you are experiencing, as this facilitates achieving your therapeutic goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Livia is extremely patient and empathetic. She has helped me to identify the main things I want to work on, and provies me with frameworkds that help these issues feel approachable. She even provides me with additional ressources that allow me to reflect and learn more about these topics.

Dec 2023

I have been working with Livia for about a year. The amount of progress I have made with the support of therapy sessions with her has been huge. Livia is an incredibly attentive listener and speaking with her feels very natural and easy. Livia holds the space in such a way that I am able to easily relax and reflect on situations in ways I would find difficult to do alone. She provides practical tools and advice I can easily incorporate into my life. I am so grateful to have been matched with such a skilled and compassionate therapist.

Oct 2023

She might be the best person alive to have in your corner. Knowledgeable, compassionate and a professional gem. After a few sessions I'm getting results above and beyond what I thought possible only a couple of weeks back. Thank you!

Oct 2022

Livia is an amazing listener. She makes me feel comfortable.

Aug 2022

She seems to listen and understand the issues I'm facing and responds in a professional manner. I would like more guidance and advice but I understand all she can do is educate and let the person decide how to proceed. I've chosen to split with the mother of my children after 5 years together so I'm trying to adjust to my new life and not resist the temptation to go back, I believe I was with a narcissistic, manipulating partner and the only real way to escape the misery is quit with my ex
