Liva Mezjane

Liva Mezjane provides a warm, caring and supportive space for her clients to look at their struggles and explore difficult feelings. She believes that everyone has an innate ability to heal. With her empathetic and non-judgemental approach, Liva will assist her clients to look within themselves to identify any believes, behaviour or patterns which may no longer serve their purpose and are not helpful in living a more authentic life.

Liva’s approach takes into account the mind and body connection and believes that “the body keeps the score” and that it often still “remembers” events which the mind has forgotten. With a background of working with chronic pain as an acupuncturist, Liva has deep understanding and compassion when working with her clients, many of whom have been suffering in their body and their mind; both of which are often interlinked. With this in mind, she often includes breathing and grounding techniques in her practice.

Liva has experience of working with clients living with anxiety, depression, the experience of trauma and feelings of guilt and shame. Liva offers integrative counselling, incorporating person centred and psychodynamic modalities. She sees her clients in private practice at The Awareness Centre in Tooting. She has a diploma in therapeutic counselling, and is registered with the BACP. Liva firmly believes in on-going personal and professional development and has studied trauma informed counselling approach with the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioural Medicine.
