About Lizandra
Lizandra Leigertwood is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Parents and individuals who are coping with relationship strain, family conflict or grief may find practical help in sessions.
She also works with issues like sleep problems, workplace stress and compassion fatigue. She draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain.
Background and approach
Attachment-based work helps address patterns formed in close relationships. Client-centred listening creates a space where people can speak without judgement. Psychodynamic thinking is used when exploring how past experiences shape current feelings and choices.
Sessions focus on clear, down-to-earth conversation and practical steps you can try between meetings. She pays attention to attachment, codependency and the effects of narcissistic parenting in family backgrounds. The aim is to help people build healthier boundaries and stronger self-respect.
Lizandra describes her approach as respectful and compassionate. She aims to empower people to make changes that matter to them. Her work emphasises collaboration and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.
She works with English‑speaking clients across the UK and internationally. Therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick the format that fits their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people name what matters to them and face difficult choices. It focuses on meaning, responsibility and finding direction when life feels uncertain. This approach can be useful for grief, major life transitions and questions about purpose.Attachment-based therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people recognise repeated patterns and try safer ways of relating. This can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, codependency and intimacy difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will choose methods and adjust them as therapy progresses so sessions match the client's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to arrange regular contact from different places and at different times.
