Lorena Rivero De Beer Counselling and Psychotherapy in Liverpool

Psychotherapist in Liverpool

How do I work?

I practice as a Person Centre psychotherapist and following the Lacanian psychoanalytic orientation depending on the individual needs.

I work both short term and long term and I can work in English or Spanish.


What is Person Centred Therapy?

The Person Centred approach offers a way of being with another based in the belief of the other's potential and ability to make the right choices for him or herself, it believes that no one knows better than oneself what one needs and how to get there, and that every person's experience of the world is unique.


As a Person Centred therapist I will support you to make sense of your own experience giving you a safe, non-judgmental space in which to be deeply listened to. This in turn will often make you feel accepted, more confident in your judgements and less afraid of expressing your thoughts and emotions. From that place you can undergo your personal journey of healing and transformation.


What is the Lacanian Psychoanalytic orientation?

Psychoanalysis holds that an unconscious dimension underlies our experience — a layer shaped by past events and expressed through recurring habits, patterns of thought, and ways of relating to others. The analytic process supports the client in exploring and becoming more aware of these unconscious dynamics.

From a Lacanian orientation, the work focuses on helping the client to pay attention to their own speech and use of language — to hear what they say, often beyond what they intend to say. This includes noticing how words and phrases can affect their body and emotions, and gradually softening the grip of those sayings that have become rigid or painful. By loosening their fixed meanings, the client can begin to relate differently to their own story and desire.

Through this process, psychic energy that was previously bound up in repetitive or limiting patterns can be freed, allowing new meanings, directions, and possibilities to emerge — supporting a fuller sense of responsibility and engagement with one’s own life.
