Hello, I’m Liane. I’m a qualified counsellor working with individuals and couples, face-to-face in Buckhurst Hill and online.
My foundation is person-centred, won’t rush or judge you, but I work psychodynamically too, which means I’m curious about patterns: the argument you keep having, which can show up in different situations or relationships, or what you learned very early about anger, need, or wanting.
With individuals, I work with the effects of childhood sexual abuse and other trauma, with grief and bereavement, and with those quieter arrivals, feeling stuck at a crossroads, or sensing that something needs to change without yet knowing what. Some of this is painful to put into words for the first time. There’s no pressure to tell me anything before you’re ready.
I trained with Relate to work with couples, and I’m currently studying for an MSc in Psychosexual Therapy at Tavistock Relationships. Sex is often the thing couples talk about last, and frequently where the real story sits: differences in desire, sex that’s become painful or anxious, erectile difficulties, or intimacy that has quietly stopped. I’ll ask, warmly and without embarrassment.
All couples welcome, married or not, together or apart, straight or LGBTQI+.
