Meet Liora, your counsellor.

Hi, I’m Liora, and if you’re reading this, you may be considering taking the first step towards support, healing, or simply finding a space where you can be yourself. I’m glad you’re here.

As a counsellor, I provide a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs, I work alongside you to navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change.
I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen and heard. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, or a difficult life transition, you don’t have to face it alone.
My role is not to tell you who to be, but to support you in becoming the person you want to be.
Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.

Warmly,
Liora

A few reflections from people I've worked with - shared in the hope they might reassure someone wondering whether to reach out.
Shared with permission. Identifying details have been changed to protect each client's privacy.
I came in barely able to talk about what had happened. Liora never pushed - she just made it safe to go slowly. A year on, I feel like myself again, maybe for the first time.

The video sessions were just as warm as being in the room. They fit around my work, and I never once felt rushed.

I'd tried therapy before and always felt like a problem to be solved. This was completely different. I felt human, and genuinely heard.

I didn't realise how heavy I'd been carrying things until I finally had somewhere safe to put them down.
