I am an integrative psychotherapist / counsellor with more than 10 years experience in helping individuals find the path to themselves by supporting them in their journey of challenging their barriers and processing their struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma / complex trauma, childhood abuse / sexual abuse, self-confidence/ self-worth, family/relational issues, low motivation, and attention difficulties. I further have a good deal of experience working with neuro-divergent clients, particularly with women who have been undiagnosed / late diagnosed with ASD / Asperger's. My career has also taken me to different countries, and as such, I have experience in working with culturally and ethnically diverse clientele.
I am passionate about valuing humanness, and enabling people to reach their full potential, and as such, the foundation of my work with clients rests on the development of the therapeutic relationship and is grounded in the Person-Centered approach. However, I equally value and respect the difference in all of us, and believe the best way to work with you is to be informed by your uniqueness and the uniqueness of your situation and experiences. As such, I work integratively by drawing on my training in Psychodynamic, CBT, and Family/Systems and psychosexual approaches to tailor my approach to you and your needs.

Leisle has been an anchor point during a very difficult time period for me. She stops me from blaming myself, is helping me to show up as a more authentic and confident version of myself, and remembers to check in on me regarding issues I may not have brought up in a while, and will create bridges to how these problems link together in a way I didn't realise on my own.
Her attentiveness and assistance in continuing to attend regular sessions needs to be acknowledged as well. She doesn't make me feel like just a client, but as an individual who is continuing to progress and grow past the issues that brought me to her in the first place.
I don't know if I would have gotten to where I am currently without her help, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Liesel is so easy to talk with and is a good listener. So far the different perspectives Liesel has offered to my situation have been so valuable and have helped me realign my thinking. The knowledge and expertise Liesel has is evident in her responses, this journey has been easier than I anticipated because of this.

Liesel puts things into great perspective, especially when you’re overthinking and catastrophising. I highly recommend her to neurodivergent people.

Liesel is very knowledgeable in the area of ASD and helps me to see things from the perspective of a neuro divergent partner. She is honest and direct. I have found our sessions very helpful.

Liesel has helped me understand some very complex issues within my family and helped calm me down.

Liesel is great, she is understanding, she helps make sense of the intertwining of confusion I find myself in, she’s brought me to clarity and been there to listen when things have felt tough. I rely on therapy to keep me on good track and notice when I’m not keeping up with therapy or journaling that I feel less centered
Written on Jul 30, 2024 after therapy with Liesel for 1 year and 11 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes
It was my first time consulting a therapist and I was very happy about our sessions.
Written on Jun 06, 2024 after therapy with Liesel for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, career difficulties, and coping with life changes
I came to her as a middle aged professional who had suffered life long self esteem issues due to a traumatic and abusive childhood. Liesel gave me profound insight by analysing that childhood with me in detail. This helped Liesel and I to work together in finding techniques to cope with bouts of low self esteem associated with my career troughs and a lack of joy in the highs of my career. I amworking on a variety of techniques with Liesel and she has guided me in self understanding and self compassion. She has also created a safe space where I can open up completely and analyse the darkest thoughts and feelings without judgement. She is truly someone I trust to a very high level and she is a thorough professional and at the same time warm and caring. This balance I find is very rare and I feel like I am in safe hands.

Liesel has been a great therapist, she is kind but also direct which helped me to take responsibility and to keep working on myself. She quickly understands the causes behind a problematic behaviour when I cannot find them and helped me solve them.

Liesel is fabulous, she put me at ease from the first time we met and has helped so much already.

I’ve had 2 sessions with Liesel now and she’s also responded to some of my shared journal entries! Helps me rethink and change the way I look at things that have been playing on my mind for some time now - asks questions which I might not always know the answer to but it gets me thinking in new ways and I’ve felt better since having sessions with her! Thanks a bunch Liesel!
