More about Liesel

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an integrative psychotherapist / counsellor with more than 10 years experience in helping individuals find the path to themselves by supporting them in their journey of challenging their barriers and processing their struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma / complex trauma, childhood abuse / sexual abuse, self-confidence/ self-worth, family/relational issues, low motivation, and attention difficulties. I further have a good deal of experience working with neuro-divergent clients, particularly with women who have been undiagnosed / late diagnosed with ASD / Asperger's. My career has also taken me to different countries, and as such, I have experience in working with culturally and ethnically diverse clientele.

I am passionate about valuing humanness, and enabling people to reach their full potential, and as such, the foundation of my work with clients rests on the development of the therapeutic relationship and is grounded in the Person-Centered approach. However, I equally value and respect the difference in all of us, and believe the best way to work with you is to be informed by your uniqueness and the uniqueness of your situation and experiences. As such, I work integratively by drawing on my training in Psychodynamic, CBT, and Family/Systems and psychosexual approaches to tailor my approach to you and your needs.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed August 2024

Liesel has helped me understand some very complex issues within my family and helped calm me down. Liesel's research experience and background has meant she was able to offer me some very helpful insights.

Reviewed July 2024

Liesel is great, she is understanding, she helps make sense of the intertwining of confusion I find myself in, she’s brought me to clarity and been there to listen when things have felt tough. I rely on therapy to keep me on good track and notice when I’m not keeping up with therapy or journaling that I feel less centered

Reviewed July 2024

It was my first time consulting a therapist and I was very happy about our sessions.

Reviewed June 2024

I came to her as a middle aged professional who had suffered life long self esteem issues due to a traumatic and abusive childhood. Liesel gave me profound insight by analysing that childhood with me in detail. This helped Liesel and I to work together in finding techniques to cope with bouts of low self esteem associated with my career troughs and a lack of joy in the highs of my career. I amworking on a variety of techniques with Liesel and she has guided me in self understanding and self compassion. She has also created a safe space where I can open up completely and analyse the darkest thoughts and feelings without judgement. She is truly someone I trust to a very high level and she is a thorough professional and at the same time warm and caring. This balance I find is very rare and I feel like I am in safe hands.

Reviewed June 2024

Liesel has been a great therapist, she is kind but also direct which helped me to take responsibility and to keep working on myself. She quickly understands the causes behind a problematic behaviour when I cannot find them and helped me solve them.

I’ve had 2 sessions with Liesel now and she’s also responded to some of my shared journal entries! Helps me rethink and change the way I look at things that have been playing on my mind for some time now - asks questions which I might not always know the answer to but it gets me thinking in new ways and I’ve felt better since having sessions with her! Thanks a bunch Liesel!

A professional who has made me comfortable to share my thoughts. She listens and sees me for me. She’s honest in all her responses and has been very helpful in giving me perspective and giving me room to tackle my issues head on. In a way that I feel safe and cared for. Having never had therapy before it doesn’t feel overwhelming at all. I’m grateful for her.
