Liliana Agafitei

My working hours are term time only Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm

Hi, my name is Liliana, and I’m a psycho-dynamically trained counsellor specialising in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents.

I have over 15 years of experience working in the independent and charity sectors, including within schools. 

I understand how challenging it can be to support a child or young person through emotional or behavioural difficulties, and I offer a calm, warm, and thoughtful space to explore these concerns.

I aim to support deeper understanding and acceptance — whether you are seeking help for yourself or for your child — helping to bring relief, clarity, and a sense of moving forward.

I work psychodynamically, exploring how early experiences, family relationships, and unconscious patterns may be impacting current difficulties, supporting meaningful and lasting change.

I work with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, family and relationship issues, and significant life transitions.

Having lived in two countries, I bring an awareness of cultural differences and the impact of diverse experiences on identity, family life, and personal development. I aim to offer a culturally sensitive space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported in the context of their own unique backgrounds.

I offer sessions in both English and Romanian

I am a qualified psychotherapist with a Bachelor’s degree in behavioural psychology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, with additional certifications in Parent and Child Therapy, Trauma-informed practice, and Young People's Therapy.

My post-graduate training was a rigorous three-year program that provided a thorough foundation in theory and clinical practice to work with complex emotional and existential concerns.

I have a special interest in life transitions, helping clients navigate periods of loss, change, and uncertainty, such as relationships, identity and entering new phases of life.

I have worked in both private and charity sectors, supporting a wide range of clients. I have experience in inner child work, which can be particularly helpful for clients who have experienced trauma, neglect, or difficult early life experiences. I have a background in supporting young people, parents and individual adults to understand and adapt to new cultural environments and big transformations.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and abide by the BACP ethical code, including a commitment to regular supervision and continuing professional development.

These experiences shape a practice that is both compassionate and thoughtful, offering a space where you can feel understood and supported as you navigate life's challenges.

I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation, and reserve a limited number of concession spaces to help make therapy more accessible
