Liva Mezjane

I am generally available Tuesdays and Thursdays 10-7pm but please do feel free to get in touch if you require an appointment outside the time frame.

I provide a warm, caring and supportive space for you to look at variety of struggles and difficult feelings you might be experiencing.

I believe that everyone has an innate ability to heal and I strive to provide a safe place for you to access this healing. With my empathetic and non-judgemental approach, I assist my clients to look within themselves to identify any believes, behaviour or patterns which may no longer serve their purpose and are not helpful in living a more authentic life.

My approach takes into account the mind and body connection and I believe that "the body keeps the score" and that it often still "remembers" events, which the mind has forgotten. With a background of working with chronic pain as an acupuncturist, I have deep understanding and compassion when working with my clients and I often include breathing and grounding techniques in my practice.

I offer integrative counselling, incorporating person centred and psychodynamic modalities, alongside trauma informed approach. 

The first session is designed for you to tell me your story, expectations and hopes from therapy, ask any questions on how I work and what I can offer.

In the first session (or couple of sessions, depending on what is needed) I might be asking more specific questions about your day to day life, people in your life and your childhood experiences. I might be taking some brief notes, such as writing down your GP details.
