Anna Lisicki
I am BABCP accredited Cognitive and Behavioural Psychotherapist. I have over 13 years of experience working in the mental health sector, including the NHS and private mental health services. Since 2018 I have been working exclusively in private practice. I have experience working therapeutically with adults and children with a variety of difficulties, such as anxiety and depression, low self-worth, perfectionism, phobias and more severe and enduring mental health problems, such as brain injury, bipolar disorder, psychosis and personality disorders. I work with neurodivergent children and adults.
My Experience
VALUES
I value the potential of every human being to change and develop and I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship may enable and facilitate learning, recovery and resilience.
I am committed to the collaboration and empowerment of individuals in their journey towards recovery and fulfilling their potential.
I respect and appreciate the diversity of individuals, their culture, religion and lifestyle choices.
