Are you stuck in patterns you don't understand, held back by anxiety, difficult relationships, or a persistent feeling that something is "off"? These struggles are not flaws, but messages. My role is to help you listen to them. As a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore the roots of your distress, which often lie in unconscious thoughts, memories, and repeated patterns. Together, we will work to uncover the ‘why’ behind your struggles—whether they involve trauma, identity, sexuality, or a longing for change—so you can move forward with greater freedom and clarity.

You may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or the life you thought you’d be living. You might be navigating a major transition, carrying the impact of trauma, struggling with anxiety or intimacy, or trying to make sense of identity changes. For immigrants and expats, this can include the added weight of cultural adjustment, distance from home, and feeling unseen or misunderstood.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure where to begin. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or simply longing for a deeper understanding of yourself. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

Welcome to my practise. I work ONLINE with adults and couples using an integrative CBT approach (EMDR, REBT, Schema T., ACT, DBT) that is active, semi structured, and tailored to you. Sessions are collaborative and goal-directed with consistent humanistic core conditions throughout a process. I bring empathy, humour, and creativity alongside honest, constructive challenge. Together we explore your psychology, your patterns, and your circumstances at a depth that creates real understanding and real change. This is a confidential, non-judgmental space.

Do you feel that you have nowhere or nobody to talk to or to express your feelings to? Do you want the freedom to explore your thoughts in a safe place with a kind ear. Are you struggling or do you have worries that you cannot express to the ones closest to you? I work with clients that want to feel safe to explore and talk freely about what is happening for them. There are no judgements or criticisms in my work.

My work is neurodivergent-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming.
Rapid Anxiety Relief Intensives - Anxiety Therapy. If anxiety, overthinking or nervous system overwhelm are taking over your life — and you don’t want months or years of weekly therapy — you’re in the right place. I specialise in Rapid Anxiety Relief Intensives: focused, short-term therapy programmes designed to help you experience meaningful relief in days rather than months. This approach is ideal for people who feel stuck, exhausted by anxiety, or ready for change and want a deeper level of support in a shorter time frame. Intensives offer dedicated, uninterrupted therapy over 1–3 days.

Wherever you are. However you are. You are welcome. Yes, sometimes we just can’t do it on our own and we need help. Therapy is one way to resource yourself to meet some of life’s challenges. Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering. They can also be as a consequence of early traumatic experiences or negative beliefs we hold about ourselves. To accept where you are is the first step in healing yourself. Hi, I’m Liam and I create a safe place for you to explore your world, where I meet you with compassion and non-judgement in a confidential setting.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burnt out from constantly adapting to a world that doesn’t always make space for difference. Perhaps you’re exploring your neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, AuDHD, or PDA) or navigating addiction, trauma, grief, or emotional overwhelm. You might long to understand yourself better, find balance, or simply feel safe in your own body. My clients often come to therapy tired of surviving alone, ready to be met with curiosity, compassion, and understanding rather than judgment.

My ideal client struggles with codependency issues, they are not very clear on how to put their boundaries in place or they’ve had a traumatic experience or childhood. My ideal client needs to take control of their life by managing their emotions and learning new coping skills. Their goal is to feel self sufficient and fulfilled in life and to make the best choices for their wellbeing.

I work with people who have a variety of difficulties and varying degrees of distress, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, addiction, and bereavement. I strive to offer a safe, supportive and understanding space for all my clients. I very much believe (and have seen in practice) that therapy is a helpful means for resolving current and/or past issues which may affect people and constrain their ability to lead a fully functional and satisfying life. I have a special interest in (i) psychotherapy for older adults, (ii) addiction and (iii) couples therapy.

I hold an MSc in Systemic Family Psychotherapy and additional training in integrated couples and sex therapy, additional training in trauma informed as well as LGBTQ affirming practice.
You may be carrying more than you realise: the weight of expectations, the pressure to hold everything together, the impact of past experiences that still echo today, or the strain of relationships that feel stuck or overwhelming. You might feel a loss of clarity, identity, or purpose, or simply notice that coping alone no longer feels possible. If any of this resonates, you’re in the right place. I am a systemic psychotherapist supporting individuals, couples, and families to make sense of their experiences within the wider contexts of culture, identity, relationships, trauma, and life transitions.

You might be facing a major change, whether anticipated or unexpected - becoming a parent, going through breakup, adjusting to a new culture, or questioning your sense of self. You may feel stuck or overwhelmed. Many people I work with want to feel more at ease with themselves, even if they’re not sure how. Together we can move toward greater clarity, acceptance, and confidence, so you can live with more freedom to be who you are - welcoming your quirks, contradictions and all the parts of you that don’t always make sense, but still belong.
