About Lizandra
Lizandra Leigertwood offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She introduces steady, respectful care that aims to help people feel understood and more able to cope. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, with attention to how early attachments shape present relationships.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how patterns from childhood affect current connections. Client-centred work helps people lead sessions and set the pace.
How Lizandra works
Psychodynamic and existential perspectives are woven in to explore meaning, identity and recurring patterns. Clients come for help with family conflict, grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries. She also focuses on parenting pressures, workplace stress and compassion fatigue.
Specific concerns include panic attacks, self-esteem, abandonment issues and recovery from narcissistic parenting. Her style is straightforward and steady. Sessions aim to build understanding of repeating patterns, develop clearer communication, and support practical coping strategies.
Conversations are guided by the person’s goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She works in English and accepts international clients. With 14 years of professional experience and registration with BACP and NCPS, she combines long-term listening with focused steps for change.
The first sessions are used to clarify goals and agree a way forward.

Online support options
Approach and online access to therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps when patterns of closeness, abandonment or codependency keep repeating and someone wants safer ways of relating.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people find their own answers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different ways of working and agree the best fit for the client's needs.
Online sessions give practical options for busy lives. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to speak in real time.
