Liesa holds a Master of Counselling, and is the Counselling Director and Founder of MindKind Counselling. She is committed to supporting clients seeking freedom and self-discovery amidst multiple stressors that can lead to feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, or depression. Stressors, often concurrent, include adapting to life changes such as marital separation, single parenting, children, empty nesting, aging parents, loss of friendships or family, physical health concerns, balancing work-life demands, financial pressures, work or dwelling insecurity, or dealing with experiences of physical, sexual, emotional abuse or trauma.
Liesa assists in alleviating feelings of abandonment, loss, loneliness, sadness, anger, emotional damage, or the desire for acceptance and belonging resulting from unresolved past experiences. She aims to reduce psychological distress and enhance overall wellbeing providing clients with calming coping skills to understand their thoughts, assert themselves and rebuild their self-esteem. Liesa provides a safe environment where clients can set goals for future self-empowerment, ultimately fostering independence and self-confidence.
Liesa applies advanced psychotherapeutic and neuroscience-based practices, ensuring that MindKind Counselling remains at the forefront of mental health care. She addresses immediate concerns and promotes long-term wellbeing through evidence-based, scientifically researched methods.
At MindKind Counselling, we believe everyone has the capacity to overcome their challenges and achieve a state of balance and harmony to bring happiness & freedom into your life.
