Lizana Latif

Hello, I am Lizana and I believe in the transformative experience of Talking Therapy.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with feelings or need a space to talk through your personal, emotional or mental health difficulties?

Counselling may help to develop your self-awareness, your self-worth and may also provide insight into how you relate to others. I work with the client to explore different perspectives, to reflect on past experiences and to use the counselling space to process difficult thoughts and feelings.

What can I talk about?

Basically, anything that you feel worried or anxious about, or any concerns you have about how you are feeling. Sometimes, this might be about recent events (such as moving to a new country, a change in personal circumstances, the ending of a relationship, or a bereavement) and sometimes it may involve events from your past. Quite often people do not know why they feel unhappy or anxious, and it is OK to come and talk about that too.

I also work in a National FGM Support Clinic (NFGMSCs), a community-based clinic that offers a range of support services for women who have experienced female genital mutilation (FGM) or cutting (FGC).

I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), a member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN) and the Squiggle Foundation.

I have a Masters in Contemporary Therapeutic Counselling from the University of Hertfordshire.

I offer face to face sessions and online via Zoom. The sessions will be weekly, at the same time and on the same day.

The first session will be an opportunity for us to meet and to find out how we might work together.

I will ask you to talk a little about your reasons for seeking counselling.

If you decide to proceed, we will discuss a mutually convenient day and time for us to meet.

Ongoing fees and means of payment will be discussed as part of the process. Individual circumstances will be taken into account and lower-fee spaces may be available.
