Larissa Leiser

I am an integrative therapist – which means I am not married to a particular approach but can adapt my way of working according to your preferences. I would describe the way that I work as providing my clients with a space where they can work through their difficulties, struggles and challenges without the fear of judgment or criticism. It is a space for exploration and acceptance – somewhere we can look together at the many aspects of your life, whether they belong to your past, your everyday or your future. I am not here to give you advice or tell you what to do but I see my role as supporting you to find a way forward through whatever it is that you are grappling with.  I will be interested in your experience, I will try to understand your world and bring the occasional challenge or alternative perspective.

The approaches influencing my work are mainly humanistic and psychodynamic and I also like introducing creative and somatic tools/exercises when that could be beneficial.  I believe that the most important factor in the success of personal therapy is the development of a safe and trusting relationship between yourself and your therapist and I see it as part of my job to try and facilitate that as much as I can.
