Dr Lizaveta van Munsteren, Chartered Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist
BPS and BPC accredited

“Every individual has the capacity to rediscover their spark—the ability to experience joy, fulfilment, and a genuine zest for life.”

Dr. Lizaveta van Munsteren is a psychologist and academic with over 15 years of clinical experience and research in psychoanalytic theory. At the heart of her therapeutic practice is the belief that every individual has the capacity to rediscover their spark—the ability to experience joy, fulfillment, and a genuine zest for life.

She understands that freeing oneself from fears, restrictions, and traumatic experiences is often deeply challenging. Each person’s story of suffering is unique, and her approach is tailored to uncover what is keeping them stuck or unhappy. Through therapy, she helps clients explore unconscious material and emotions that contribute to life’s difficulties, working toward deeply personal insights and solutions. She also considers the complex interplay between body and mind, acknowledging how physical and emotional states influence one another.

Her sessions are built on free-floating conversation, where clients are encouraged to bring whatever feels important—whether present concerns, past events, or lingering memories. While this approach may initially feel unstructured, it soon reveals core issues, guiding meaningful therapeutic work. Rather than directing discussions toward predetermined topics, Dr. van Munsteren remains actively engaged and curious about what matters most to her clients.

Sometimes, therapy involves gentle yet thought-provoking challenges to reframe perspectives; other times, it requires confronting pain directly or simply having a space to be heard. She offers support with a wide range of concerns, including unhappiness, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, and feelings of being stuck. Ultimately, her work is about helping clients make sense of their experiences, cultivate conscious living, and achieve greater clarity and emotional freedom.
