I've spent over 20 years providing one-to-one psychotherapy and counselling psychology support to individuals of all ages, from teens to octogenarians, and everyone in between. Most people attend psychotherapy with a desire to experience relief from symptoms such as anxiety; depression; grief; stress; trauma; and uncertainty about the future. I have found that clients ultimately experience long-term relief and positive gains by developing a healthier relationship with themselves. Our goal: to help you pursue a simpler, pleasant, more content life.

The first thing that I want you to know is that I am deeply passionate about what I do. It's a privilege to sit in a room with another human being and have them share with you their suffering, their joy, their anger, their confusion, their sorrow, their successes. I view the therapy room as a sacred space, where one can truly be themselves, with no judgement, no criticism, only understanding & genuineness. It is my job to know your story, understand your perspective and guide you with your best interest in mind. I challenge my clients to open themselves up to change and personal growth.

Taking the first step in deciding to attend therapy is often the hardest part, it can be difficult to admit to ourselves that we may need the intervention of another to assist us on this journey. Coming to speak allows an individual to be heard in way that is specific to them, a singular , and not to fit the specifics of ticking the boxes. Speaking about your way of experiencing life and it's difficulties and challenges, can free up a person and allow them to look through a different lens.

There are many reasons to engage in therapy. If you have found your way here, I imagine you may be struggling with some part of yourself or with someone in your life. You might be looking for help and support with problems that seem overwhelming. You may have a sense that you are not living the life you want to live and wish to step more confidently forward. Psychotherapy offers you a chance to slow down and step out of your daily life, refocus on your needs and goals, a path of self-development and learning.

Wherever you are. However you are. You are welcome. Yes, sometimes we just can’t do it on our own and we need help. Therapy is one way to resource yourself to meet some of life’s challenges. Crippling anxiety, overwhelming grief, black depression are sources of deep pain and dark suffering. They can also be as a consequence of early traumatic experiences or negative beliefs we hold about ourselves. To accept where you are is the first step in healing yourself. Hi, I’m Liam and I create a safe place for you to explore your world, where I meet you with compassion and non-judgement in a confidential setting.
