Areas of Expertise
Counselling
I provide face to face and online counselling sessions for individuals, couples and families. I use a Humanistic Integrative approach drawing on various theories including Rogarian Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and also Gestalt therapy. I specialise in relationships, supporting couples to re-connect and work through any issues in an open and non-judgemental space.
Somatic Intimacy Coaching
Somatic Intimacy Coaching focusses on helping women to feel comfortable and confident in their own bodies. This can include working with women who have experienced sexual traumas, birth-related issues, shame through past experiences or negative conditioning, and those who find intimacy difficult or painful for example. This work is conducted in a safe and private therapy room and draws on the Somatic Method, looking at how intimacy feels and how women can learn about their body's sexual response. We look together at any blocks that might be in the way of our intimate lives and how we can work together to gain fulfilment and pleasure.
Testimonials
"Libby has been so supportive through my bad days and even my good days. She shows me that she’s here to listen and support me. I would definitely recommend Libby. She listens without any judgment and will never rush you into talking about something your not ready to talk about, but will show you that she’s there when you are ready". AJ
"Can’t explain how fantastic Libby is! I’ve spoken to a few therapists but none have come close to how understanding, supportive and non- judgemental she is. Libby genuinely cares, checks in regularly and is always there. She gives great responses and has helped me immensely. I can talk about anything in my own time comfortably and Libby has great empathy. Highly recommend!" CS
