My approach

I have successfully treated patients with a variety of presentations, including anxiety-related disorders including panic attacks, phobias, OCD, PTSD, GAD, health anxiety and social anxiety, also depression, addictions, eating disorders and behavioural issues, sleeping disorders, couple issues, low self esteem, assertiveness, stress related issues, anger management and many others.

My main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which is evidence-based and effective with most disorders. I also integrate elements of Schema Therapy, Mindfulness, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

I can offer a non-judgmental compassionate approach to resolve your problem. I am here not to judge or criticise you; I will be understanding and supportive. Following my therapy, you will become more aware of what maintains your problem and how your way of thinking affects the way you feel and behave.

You will then be equipped with coping strategies/problem solving skills that help you to cope with difficult situations and stressors, and identify any up-coming problem. Sometimes therapy can be demanding and uncomfortable, but we will overcome obstacles together in a collaborative way and in a relaxed, positive atmosphere.

The unique approach of my therapy is to work with the thinking that maintains your problem; once this pattern has been successfully challenged, you will discover that you feel differently about yourself.

Unlike many other therapists, I try to work with causes and symptoms at the same time. Many of my previous clients have benefited from this unique approach.

"For all of the above, I want to say a big thank you, Liliya. For all the work you did with me. For your guidance and patience when listening to the same complaints again and again. But most of all, for all the times when I was at my lowest. When you kept me after the end of our session to help me feel better before going back to the refuge. Giving up your much-needed break from people’s problems, I am sure. Those meant the world.

And even though I don’t know much about you — or almost anything really — you are among the people I most look up to, and refer to for inspiration."

The early sessions with Liliya covered a broad range of issues and we eventually figured out the problems and appropriate solutions. Liliya listened well and pushed to challenge me outside of my comfort zone. I'd recommend Liliya to friends and family alike!"

"Dear Liliya, Your services are brilliant. Very efficient. I also think your style of reporting has improved since the first instruction and you have clearly understood what we need from a medico legal point of view. The content of your reports is clear and concise."
