About Lizandra
Lizandra Leigertwood is a counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or relationship strain. She works with adults dealing with grief, trauma, sleep problems and changes at work or home. Lizandra aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful for anyone looking for change.
Her practice focuses on understanding attachment patterns and how past relationships shape present problems. She helps people untangle codependency, recover from narcissistic parenting dynamics, and rebuild self-worth.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to each person’s needs and often centre on practical steps that can be tried between sessions. Lizandra uses a mix of client-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection to notice recurring patterns and meanings. She also draws on existential ideas to help people find purpose and clarify values during life transitions.
This blend supports both immediate relief and deeper understanding. Clients can expect a calm, compassionate space where their experience is taken seriously. Lizandra treats sensitive topics such as trauma and abuse with care and attention to boundaries.
She encourages small experiments in daily life to strengthen coping and confidence. Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in the United Kingdom and beyond. Lizandra works through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, and guides people toward a way of working that fits their routine and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate online
Elizabeth translates attachment-based thinking into clear online work by helping clients notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding bonds formed in childhood and uses that awareness to change unhelpful relationship habits and improve emotional safety.She also uses client-centred therapy online, which means sessions centre on the person's experience and pace. Client-Centred Therapy involves active listening, empathy and reflection so people can feel heard and explore goals like self-esteem, boundaries and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person's needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the way sessions run as work progresses.
Online sessions can be a flexible way to get support. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or a quieter set-up is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter updates or people who prefer typing to talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different ways of working to see what helps most.
