Larraine Birkett

As an Accredited Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists). I practise attunement. In therapy, attunement refers to the therapist’s responsiveness and alignment with their clients. It’s common to hear in relational psychoanalytic.

Accredited Registered Member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists).

I have a background in Education and Community projects. I manage a small successful private practice and also work online, providing brief therapy to NHS and EAP clients. My experience spans various settings, including local authority (Hertfordshire County Council), Virtual school, NHS, primary/secondary schools, and charitable organizations.

I’m passionate about my work and the long-term benefits of ‘talking therapies’ and I am committed to making a difference to my clients’ lives.

I enjoy working with people and seeing the positive impact that a therapeutic relationship can bring.   An effective and trusting therapeutic relationship can provide the catalyst for a positive change in your life enabling you to reach the right choices and solutions within your life.

My private practice is run from a site Hemel Hempstead. I offer therapeutic or supervision sessions face to face or online. Online sessions are offered normally to people in UK, as rules, regulations and insurance can be different according to the country client is in.

Please contact me via the website to arrange a time to discuss how I might support you.
