BA(Hons) Integrative Relational Counselling, MBACP
From £65.00 (50 minute session)
Larissa is a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor with a degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adheres to their professional and ethical standards.
Alongside her private practice, Larissa provides counselling within a local bereavement service and the NHS. While she works with a wide range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, depression and self-esteem, she has a special interest in bereavement and loss.
Grief can feel overwhelming and isolating, and it is often difficult to talk openly about loss. Larissa offers a safe, supportive and compassionate counselling space where you can process these emotions and begin to make sense of your experience. Her approach helps clients transform grief into something more manageable, while honouring the depth of their loss.
She also enjoys working with individuals who have relocated to the UK and may be experiencing loneliness, homesickness or difficulties adjusting to a new culture. Larissa has a particular interest in supporting older adults and in helping clients cultivate greater self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Larissa understands that reaching out for counselling can feel daunting. Her warm, non-judgemental, and compassionate approach helps clients feel safe to open up, develop trust and begin to face their difficulties at their own pace.

"I was not very hopeful when I booked my first session with Larissa. I never thought therapy could help me but it exceeded my expectations. It was not easy but Larissa was super supportive throughout, we worked hard and I am now in a much better place."
Client L
"When I started seeing Larissa following a bereavement, I was all over the place. The counselling slowly helped me slow down, process some of my grief and start focusing on me. I know this is not the end of my grief but I feel much more at peace now and I know she is only an email away if I need more support."
Client T
"I saw Larissa for a few months. It helped me through a really rough patch. She was never judgy but she encouraged me to see things differently and try new things. I also learnt some skills to help with my anxiety and navigate some difficulties in my important relationships."
