Lizandra Leigertwood, BACP, NCPS

Lizandra Leigertwood brings 14 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works from a place of respect, sensitivity, and compassion, helping clients explore patterns that affect their connections, self-worth, and everyday coping. Her practice includes focused work on attachment concerns, codependency, and the specific challenges faced by adult children of narcissistic parenting.

BACP indicates membership of the UK counselling association and NCPS reflects an additional professional counselling qualification, both of which inform her commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical practice. She combines clinical training with a client-centered stance that values each person’s courage in seeking change.

Clients meet Lizandra for a range of issues including panic attacks, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, sleep problems, parenting and workplace stress, and career transitions. Her approach aims to empower people to build healthier relationships with themselves and others, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward more fulfilling lives. Lizandra supports international clients and offers flexible online and remote session options to make therapy accessible across different circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Lizandra uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to guide her online work. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps people address issues such as abandonment, codependency, and difficulties forming secure connections. Client-centered therapy emphasizes respect for the client's experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where people can explore feelings, build self-worth, and make choices aligned with their values. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help uncover repeated relational patterns and family-of-origin influences that contribute to current distress, which can be useful for clients working through longstanding relationship and identity issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lizandra collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting sessions as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Lizandra is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from different locations while working with registered professionals and therapists committed to client-centered care.
