About me
If you are looking for a safe, supportive space to heal and gain clarity on your challenges, you are in the right place.
I am Liselle Van Zyl, a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with over 23 years of experience in the mental health field. My work is rooted in Gestalt psychotherapy, which I trained in at the Metanoia Institute in London. I also draw from transpersonal, eco-psychology, and archetypal psychology, as well as advanced trauma-focused therapies such as Brainspotting and CRM.
I work with individuals and couples, helping them navigate a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, adoption-related concerns, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth.
My approach is relational, holistic, and tailored to meet you where you are on your unique journey. Together, we will co-create a therapeutic experience designed to support your specific needs and goals.
By exploring all aspects of your life, I aim to help you deepen your self-awareness and move towards living a vibrant, fulfilling life.
