Lizandra Leigertwood connects with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or relationship strain. She helps parents and individuals facing family conflict, grief, low self-esteem and the aftermath of trauma. Lizandra writes in a straightforward way and focuses on small, practical steps people can try between sessions.

She brings 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Lizandra often works with people dealing with attachment problems, codependency and the effects of narcissistic parenting.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how early relationships shape present behaviour and feelings. In sessions she listens carefully and follows a client-centred style that keeps the person’s concerns at the core. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns, and on attachment-based approaches to understand closeness and trust.

Lizandra aims to make therapy practical and down to earth. Conversations focus on clearer communication, safer boundaries, managing panic or sleeplessness, and rebuilding self-worth. She offers coping tools that can be used between meetings.

People choose her when they want a compassionate, steady presence while they work through painful experiences. She supports clients as they explore meaning, make changes, and practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How attachment work and client-centred therapy translate online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect trust and closeness now. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practise new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s immediate concerns and the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to decide on realistic next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they can mix methods or adjust the plan as the work progresses so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expression and body language during deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections or days when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
