Larissa Leiser

Counselor

A professional counsellor who will support you without judgement and with kindness, in finding your way through your difficulties.

About Me

When life feels overwhelming, finding clarity can be challenging. This counsellor offers a kind, non-judgemental space where you can gently explore your concerns. They will support you in understanding your unique situation and help you navigate difficulties at your own pace. Together, you can uncover new perspectives and build confidence to move forward. This approach suits anyone seeking a safe, compassionate environment to process their experiences.

Approach

With kindness and a non‑judgemental stance, I help you untangle what feels overwhelming and find small, manageable ways forward. In my East Molesey practice and online I offer sessions in English and French, keeping a steady, paced rhythm that suits your needs. Together we reflect on feelings, make sense of transitions or loss, practise grounding and self‑compassion between meetings, and test practical steps that feel doable. This way of working often fits adults facing change, anxiety, or lowered self‑worth.
